  I just joined this forum as caregiver for my 75 yr old dad. Initial spot removed from forearm March 2020. PET scans good until Nov 2021. Metastasized to lung, surgically removed, margins and lymph nodes clear. Brain MRI results today clear. BUT oncologist estimates he has 6 months to live because it is NRAS mutation. She told him if it were her dad, she would say “wait and see” if it spreads before starting immunotherapy because “quality of life” for those 6 months. Meaning it’s hopeless. I’m looking for hope – any kind of feedback on NRAS treatment or specialists. I adore my dad and am heartbroken. Thank you and my best to everyone battling this.
