Hi all,
My grandad has been living with stage 4 metastic lung cancer (spread to lymph) for just over two years now. Originally he was receiving chemo, but once that ended he found out he was able to move onto immunotherapy - which has been amazing, with very minimal side effects. It has significantly prolonged his life. The immunotherapy stopped the growth and any spread and everything was going very well. At his last scan we found out the cancer has now spread to his liver. His team have decided to do another two rounds of immuno before scanning him again. This takes us to March, his treatment would be ending in early July (that would be the 2 year up). They haven't gave us much info, but have said he may qualify for clinical trails if the immuno has stopped working. Stupidly I googled and the prognosis has scared me. We understand the cancer is terminal and have had two years to (reluctantly) accept this. He's overcome so much and defied so many odds that this new finding has hit me hard all over again.
Sorry, I don't know why I'm writing this post. Maybe in hope of a miracle? Cancer is cruel. Thinking of everyone suffering and those who are fighting from the sidelines through a loved one x
