Hi, I’ ve posted before. I had a dime sized lesion on right forearm and surgery to remove. There was involvement in several lymph nodes. Radiation for 25 days. This was a year and half ago. I have PET scans every 3 months that have been clear. I asked my oncologist about immunotherapy and was told by him that unless it came back or metastasized, it wasn’t indicated. So far so good. After 2 years, I will go to PET’s every 6 months.

@wayner1 Interesting, Immune therapy was mentioned right from my first appointment!
