      Hello Folks 

      My father was diagnosed with an atypical spitz tumour in 2005 . He lived very well for many years but in 2014 the cancer spread to lymphonodes in the pectoral regions , after 4 years several mets were found in the mediastinum and in the lungs . He has a nras mutation which is less common than braf but also aggressive and unfortunately we don’t have much options beside the immunotherapy. He started in March 2018 and ct scans showed in July that is progressing. 

      Just few weeks ago we was treated with radiotherapy and now is suffering several side effect . 

      We are of course desperate and we don’t know what to do . I wrote on the forum to check if anybody had some experience with nras mutation in melanoma and If anybody knows about new trials coming up focusing on this mutation 

      thank you again
