New to forum. Lung cancer with spread

Hi all

I was admitted to hospital in September with back pain thinking I had bulging discs as did the GP to find out after a MRI scan, CT scan & biopses to discover I had stage 4 lung cancer with spread to my liver & spine. This was such a shock for me & my family. Hardest thing I have had to tell my 2 daughters. I am incurable but at the moment they are managing to control it with tarceva(EGFR treatment). I have my 2nd scan in Feb & hope the news is as positive.
