        My brother (35 years ago) discovered two years ago a ridge melanoma, then a major surgical operation.

        After two years in which there seemed to be tumor event occurred:

        in February 2016 2 to 2 lung metastases (faced with ipilimumab 4 drip and local radiotherapy)
        in June 2016 13 brain metastases (whole brain radiation therapy and so far dealt with 2 drip Keytruda (anti pd1)

        The CT scan of a few days ago encephalon reveals a small enlargement of some of the old metastases, regression of metastases 1 and the appearance of new metastases 1

        Instead lung are seeing a reduction / stabilization

        The abdominal ultrasound gives everything OK x liver / spleen / rebe / pancreas

        He had had to suspend Keytruda x i too high ALT and AST, but yesterday resumed the dose having normalized values.

        Do you think he did well to keep up with Keytruda? You can still hope to begin operations?
