I, too, have nsclc. I had robotic, thoracotomy resection in Nov 2017. In April 2018 it reoccurred in paratracheal lymph node. Now stage 3. I entered clinical trial with 2 doses of Keytruda. Shrank tumor from 1.7 to .6 and open thoracotomy cancelled. Started 30 radiation treatments along with carboplatin and alimta. Long 6 weeks! I am now on the immunotherapy Imfinzi ever 2 weeks for a year. Trying hard to beat this ‘ugly’! Hugs to you. Hang in there!!

Hang in there! There is so much happening in lung cancer treatment. I can say...it is all doable! Keep us posters and let us know questions, concerns. One of us has been there.

Hi DanielD, welcome to WhatNext! I agree with 2943, there is a lot of exciting work being done in the lung cancer field ... and there are lots of us who have been there and are willing to share our experiences with you.

I am so glad you're going into a fabulous treatment center. I think that increases odds of success by a lot.

Please let us know if you have questions that we can try to answer based on our own experiences.
