      Thanks Celeste. Yes, he is being treated by a melanoma specialist and has been since the fall of 2015, when the first mets was discovered and removed (in his esophagus). There were two more mets in 2017 (lung and stomach), which were both removed, then the brain met in January which, again, has now returned. 

      Not BRAF positive. 

      Yes, he has been on different immunotherapies since January 2016 including pembro and ipi and combinations thereof. 

      Thanks again for your response and advice.
