Coming to the end of my 2 year immunotherapy treatment for stage 4 lung cancer. What would be my next best medical option to improve survival? I know we are all different but any pointers would be much appreciated. Love health and strength to all.
I'm due to start immunotherapy in the next 3 weeks or so, all things being equal. I've been told that if all goes well, at the end of 2 years I'll be offered chemotherapy.
I would love to know how you coped with your treatment, if you feel able to share.
I had left upper lobectomy at the end of March this year, staged 3a. T1 N2 M0. Unfortunately it has already spread extensively in the lymph system and bones, hence Pembrolizumab instead of the chemo I was expecting.
I was getting over the thoracotomy but then started to struggle with breathlessness and pains in various places. I've been given steroids and my goodness - what a difference!
I have heard a bit about oxygen therapy and that some people get a lot of benefit from that, so perhaps that's something to explore.
I do hope all continues well for you and that the immunotherapy has put the beasty back in its box.
