      Its crazy how stage 4 has a way of moving the goalposts as to what's good news and whats not. I'm currently stage 4C, but have had a good rersponse to PD-1. Has anyone had any experience with trying something new after achieving "stable disease"? I've been pretty lucky (and feel healthy still!), but some stubborn mets remain — has anyone tried and been able to get radiation or something along those lines at a similar point in time? I really don't like the idea of just being passive while PD-1 fights ther mel to a stalemate. I'm hoping to have a serious discussion about surgery with my doctor at some point, but don't think that's an option at present.
