Jim Is Having 3rd Keytruda Friday. On The 28th He Is Having A MRI Of His Brain. Will This Find Any Metastasis?
Immunotherapy is always the best of tools providing the body responds well to the treatments
Praying that there is no spreading at all.
A little extra info… The brain is a common area for melanoma to metastasize to, as well the bones/vertebrae of the spine. However it is treatable with specialized radiation such as Cyber Knife and SBRT radiation. Jimmy Carter is a fine example, they found melanoma that had metastasized into his brain when he was 91. He just turned 100.
As always surround yourselves with a good support team of doctors and family.
I've heard those on keytruda have had great success. I hope all goes well.
Prayers You will be fine
An MRI of the brain is a highly effective imaging test used to detect metastasis, including melanoma that has spread to the brain. It uses high-powered magnets to take detailed images, which can help identify tumors or abnormalities.
