      Thanks Sandy! Hope your husband continues to do better. So he’d to reach a sign post and choose a direction for sure. How long did they make him wait when they took him off immunotherapy and put him on the inhibitors? I obviously don’t won’t to wait too long to transition if I decide to do that. I am going to the Mayo Clinic this week to seek another opinion also.

      Thank you for the information on radiation – will look into this option if the node is positive. Not sure if radiation in this area behind the liver is recommended or not due to its sensitive location.

      Thanks for the advice! I am planning on doing the biopsy so that I can make sure I have the most options like going on the additional immunotherapy Yervoy. Only issue would be additional risk of reactions by adding Yervoy – looks like the risk goes way up. hopefully it is a false positive for cancer and ends up just being a node fighting off infection. I have researched and told by doctors that the risk of spreading cancer via fine needle biopsy is extremely low and hope this is the case.
