      My husband was diagnosed stage 4 in early 2018. Started on nivo, and was NED by his first 3 month scan, He completed one full year of Nivo post NED, and then with his doctor’s concurrence, stopped treatment. Still NED December 2019, but now scans show new lesions in abdomen and lung. My question is about recurrence: Anybody have experience with a situation like this? Or relevant data? He will resume Nivo and we will hope for repeat of great results. But would love to hear from others about their experiences or what they may know or have read on recurrence. Grateful–again–to have this group to turn to.
