      My husband has stage 4 melanoma with multiple lesions in  the head.

      He had craniotomy in October, Gamma Knife treatment in December and was on Mek/Taff combo for 3 month.

      We had to discontinue the combo because he developed very high fever and chills

      started on Keytruda last week.

      the MRI in December showed good progress – most lesions decreased in size.

      but the second MRI in February showed  3 new lesions, so waiting for the next Gamma Knife procedure.

      just a couple days ago he started feeling some kind of spasms in the face , back of head and radiating to the neck area.

      the spasms are short in duration – less than 1 min. – and do not cause any changes in facial expression.

      does anybody experienced this kind of spasms?
