Hello @shannona and welcome to Connect. I see that you recently posted about GIST tumors in your pelvis and omentum. I am sure that you are glad that your tumors appear to be shrinking.

You are asking some good questions about immunotherapy. As I looked for other members with cancer in the area of the pelvis and omentum, I see that many are members in the area of gynecological cancers. Was the cancer in your pelvis a gynecological cancer as well?

I did look for some information on GIST tumors and immunotherapy and found information on the National Institute of Health website:

--Current Status of Immunotherapy for Gastrointestinal Stomal Tumors
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28186088/
Have you discussed the option of immunotherapy with your oncology team?

Thank you for sharing the link, will be surely helpful for me as I'm still new to GIST and still thinking about doing surgery or not.
