Lung cancer has progressed to multiple brain metastases

Hello everyone

I have had lung cancer for 5 years, starting off with about 9 or 10 tumours which had spread to the lymph nodes in my chest and neck. I was on Crisotinib which eventually got rid of all the tumours. I know, I was really lucky that the meds did what they were supposed to and I viewed every day as a bonus.

I've just been told that although a CT scan has shown that my lungs were still clear I now have about 5 tumours in my brain., with between a few months to live and, if I'm lucky, maybe a year.

I'm devastated and so sad. Trying to be positive but not being successful at the moment.

  • Hi Kitty
