Just asking for a friend who had a Mel removed a year ago and now has multiple brain and lung mets. He has had radiation and now having laser knife surgery
he's in Vienna and I'm sure he must be getting the best advice but how long after the brain surgery can you start immunotherapy?
i am anxious that he should start asap

I started nivo and had 3 brain mets treated the following week. As long as there is no major swelling of the brain from radiation there is no reason not to start immediately after if not before. -
