Thank you all so much for your kind and encouraging replies.
I mentioned early on that this was all new to us and my head was still spinning. Now that things are falling into a pattern I am starting to see the bigger picture and not feel so panicked.

Thank you all so much.
We are in Clinton, TN just outside of Knoxville and our doctors are TN Cancer Specialist in Powell, TN. Our oncologist is not a melanoma specialist and I have asked my husband on several occassions if he wants to make a change but he says he is where he wants to be.
I asked him if he wanted to make a trip to Vanderbilt in Nashville, but he said he is very comfortable with our team and feels like they are making all the right decisions so…I am in support mode.

Hello there.
He isn't driving.
We have seen a radiation oncologist and will be having the gamma knife radiation. The decision was made and we agreed (whether wisely or not we don't know…) to get two of the immunotherapy treatments down and then the gamma knife radiation.
So, I think the logic was get started on the immunotherapy, get the gamma knife, and proceed with the immunotherapy. Our oncologist said, we have 6 weeks on the brain mets, we don't have 6 weeks on your liver so we need to get the immunotherapy started immediately. The next treatment is a week from today – then gamma.
I will bring up the subject of a second opinion again this weekend.
