Internal organs scan clear, but oligometastic melanoma continues

Our oncologist has now referred my husband for 1-2 rounds of Remicaid infusions to try to resolve the 10 weeks of GI distress. It is a medication usually used to treat Crohn's Disease or ulcerative colitis. If insurance approves, he will get an infusion of this on Thursday.

We are also getting consultation for radiation for the melanoma mets on his shoulder as part of the oligometastic presentation he has with stage 4 melanoma. Anyone out there with radiation to locations very close to the surface of the skin?

Anyone out there who has been treated with t-VEC? If so, can you share your experience/ tips?

asking for a friend :)
