Welcome @rfinkel, that must've been a shock to hear that the occular melanoma has metastasized. I'm tagging @bob45 @twocents to bring them into the discussion as well.

Rfinkel, what type of treatment will you start next week?

I am getting ipi/nivo immunotherapy infusion. My ocular melanoma metastasized to my lungs - a pet scan showed no other suspect areas. My oncologist discussed using tebe but said I did not have the blood markers that indicated it would work. (I think that is for liver anyway) I have had genome mapping by foundation medicine and may get a recommendation for treatment predicated on their findings.
Is mayo currently treating patients with my problem and if so what are you using. I've talked with many patients on line and it seems that treatments do vary somewhat.
