The Liver biopsy showed that the cancer had spread to my liver. I am Stage IV. I went to MD Anderson to meet with Dr. Ajani last week and will be in Houston for my treatment. I would like to ask if anyone has been through treatment with chemo and Nivolumab? They are also going to see if I am eligible to participate in a study -- this depends on the presence of FGFR2B in the biopsy of the mass. If so, I may also receive bemarituzumab.

Hi @rschreib, several members have experience with chemotherapy and the immunotherapy nivolumab (Opdivo). You might wish to start with this discussion:

I'll be interested to hear about the genetic testing and whether you're a candidate for the clinical trial or not.
