Is your husband Microsatellite Instable and or MMR Deficient?
I believe that Immunotherapy only works on those Biomarkers, it would be great if it works. Please keep us updated.
Also, there a treatment using a liver chemo pump which can help with liver mets.

I don't yet know the details. I know the EGD/EUS turned into a hunt for biomarkers rather than staging, and chemo was delayed a week after the initial consult while they did some further tests to confirm use of Optivo.
What is the liver treatment? Is that different from infusing 5FU for 46 hrs through a power port using a pump?
