Stage IV melanoma: What's your experience with immunotherapy?

It sounds like you are starting the maintenance phase of dosing for immunotherapy. Congratulations! This should mean you have had interval re-stagging imaging studies such as PET/CT or plan CT that revealed stable disease “no growth/metastasis” or response “ decrease in tumor burden or “ shrinkage”. Not to mention you tolerated the immunotherapy without any significant side effects.
This is great news!

Unfortunately no, new hyper metabolic metastasis in neck, chest and abdomen as well as osseous structures consistent with progression of disease, from PetScan report. I’m wondering if there is an additional intervention or therapy.
