Hi!
What's the update?
From my understanding, this is actually pretty controversial.
My mom was dx at stage 4, but now she has had a very good response, and the question is similar: surgery, or no?
Anyway. For my mom's case, we opted to get on the immunotherapy clinical trial, since time was of the essence, and then arrange for a second opinion (Duke). Second opinion said there was no better treatment than the immunotherapy drug.
That's not to say that may be true in every case, but my mom has done so well that I would not hesitate to at least investigate the immunotherapy option in a second opinion setting. Even if, at this point, you have already begun one treatment option, it is never too late to pursue a second opinion. There are plenty of people in this community who go months or years and then have a consult with a new oncologist, just for verification and peace of mind.
Keep us posted; I see it's been a while since you posted.
