My mum was diagnosed with non-small cell inoperable stage three lung cancer in February. The oncologist said that they're aiming to cure her and that immunotherapy is part of her treatment plan. My mum had intensive radiotherapy and chemo. She finished her treatment about a month ago and had the CT scan on Friday. On Wednesday the oncologist will ring her.
I'm so scared that the treatment hasn't worked and what if the cancer has spread or hasn't improved even with treatment. My mum says that she isn't worried especially as with the intensive treatment that she was given it should have gotten rid of at least some of it and that immunotherapy will take care of the rest.
I'm scared what if they change their mind about giving her immunotherapy. They said that she is suitable because of her cancer type. I have so many fears. My mum is going to have a chat tomorrow about the immunotherapy at the hospital. So does this mean that they want her to go through with it despite the results? They want her to come in person. My mum thinks that they'll want her to sign stuff like she had to before starting chemo.
I'm scared that I got my hopes up too much. Where my mum is being treated is a very good cancer hospital with an excellent reputation. I'm scared that it wont be enough. The oncologist did seem really positive when I met her (before my mum started the treatment).
