Dear diney, don't despair, my husband has lung cancer stage 4 incurable but he's still here two years after treatment and the tumour hasn't grown anymore.  So find your fighting spirit that you used before and keep in touch with us so we know how you are getting on.  Kind regards, Carol 

Thank you Carol I will start treatment soon I'm a bit worried as it's in my lymph glands  .I am meeting oncology team on Tues so long battle ahead of me ...

Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in January this year.  As with you surgery was not an option and the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes.  I have had 8 rounds of chemo and immunotherapy but it is uncertain as to whether I can continue with the immunotherapy as I have developed immunotherapy induced colitis, not pleasant.  I am also very anxious and angry that this has happened to me and that  my grandchildren will not have their Nanna in their lives.  I hope you can find some peace of mind and that your treatment goes well.  All the very best to you and your family and let me know how you get on.  Kind regards Sue

Hi sue thank you for reply yes I am very angry going through lots of different emotions  started my chemo Thursday my God the after effects are horrible  so hopefully it works and I wish you all the best sue so good to have some one who understands what you are going through      Christina 

Feel for you, as if we are not going through enough without the nasty side effects of the chemo.  It will settle down, I made myself think that hopefully it was doing some good by stopping the cancer from growing and giving me longer to be with my family!  Am currently waitiing a CT scan so the Oncologist can decide the best way forward.  Will keep in touch and hope you recover from the chemo quickly.  Sue

Sue hopefully you can get a way forward and as I dont know what's going happen along the way is scary i get so mad sometimes rollercoaster of emotions  as you know  please let me know how you are doing sue thank you so much for reply      Christina 

Hi Christina, just thinking about you and wondering if the side effects have settled down now, I do hope so.  Had my scan on Saturday and it will take upto 4 weeks for the results to come through unless therre is anything suspicious they will let me know earlier, fingers crossed that won't be the case.  take care.  Sue

Hi sue yes they have settled  thank you but the taughts of going through them again after next session is not something I'm looking forward too I find the fatigue  Is worse some days ..oh sue I hope you get some good news although 4 weeks to wait for results seems long sue ...I have to wait till after treatment to see if mine has worked im hoping it has sue I wish you all the best and please keep in touch .....Christina 

Hi Christina, I'm sorry to tell you that the scan I had on Saturday has shown I have brain metastases, certainly not the news I was expecting and has left us both distraught.  I have seen the Oncologist and need to have a MRI scan so they can get a better picture.  Following this I will have to have Stereotactic radiosurgery, more treatment I could do without!  Hope you are ok and keeping your spirits up, stay strong. Sue

Sue I'm so sorry to hear that  .will we ever get a break I have my next chemo Thursday and really dreading it after how sick I was..really suffering with back pain the last 2 days  .I really hope you get through the treatment  sue I know it's hard I will be thinking of u you sue and please stay in touch and let me know how you are ....Christina
