Hey Lillyzz!! Just saw you response on survivorship ... WhooHoo!! Congrats! I might already know this (or should already know, but my brain is a sieve), but what treatment are you getting. It thrills me so much when I see more and more of us with late stage lung cancer beating the horrible odds!! Anyway, biG congrats!!!

Hi Lilly, I have the same cancer. I also am on maintenance chemo. I lost track of how many rounds, it's somewhere between 50-60. My daughter were keeping track Chemo brain hit me.....
I'm happy for you.

Hi Lillyzz,

Sorry that you have to go through this unfortunate adventure. The road may get scary and rough, but know you are not alone and you have come to a great place for support and understanding. WhatNext is really wonderful. Ask any questions or concerns you might have, and someone here will probably have a helpful answer for you.

I was diagnosed with stage IV, Adenocarcinoma, Non-small cell lung cancer four years ago and have been stable ever since. My treatment was open lung surgery (removal of lower right lobe) and chemotherapy (Cisplatin & Navelbine, and Zometa infusions (not a chemo) monthly for my bones). I feel very lucky to be alive and doing very well. Try your best to stay positive and hopeful.

My best wishes to you.

Hi I hope your feeling pretty good after the chemo and radiation

Hi Lizzyzz, Thank you for following me! I’m so sorry that you are stage IV as well, but we both get through this battle that we both have with ‘chronic cancer’! Good luck to you and God bless!

Hi. You are about the same age as my sister who is also at stage IV. What treatments have worked well for you? Thank you
