              Thank you, Celeste! This is very helpful!

              I am trying to make sense of all the new language. After reading through all this helpful info, is it fair to say that it is common for low tumor burden patients to get immunotherapy and high tumor burden patients take the BRAF pill?

              Also, do you know of any information about unknown primary? It seems rare. It was a huge surprise to us that the swollen lymph node was melanoma because my husband gets skins checks any all all they all came back clear.

              Thank you for your help during this tough time.
