Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

Hello,
I was diagnosed March 2020. Had a VATS lobectomy of UL to remove 5.2cm nodule, followed by 4 rounds of chemo due to the size. We've been watching several nodules in right lung since then and decided to move forward with RATS segmentectomy upper and lower right, which took place March 2024. Final decisions on treatment, if any, have not been made yet although oncologist suggested chemo followed by immunotherapy. I have a few questions for him before I will feel comfortable with that plan. So, it's a work in progress!

@trudyhs, I was also first diagnosed in March 2020, what a crazy time it was to be dealing with lung cancer on top of everything else in the world at that time. I went straight to a targeted therapy as my first line treatment, and I'm still on that therapy today. Your doctors must have done biomarker testing on your samples if they are mentioning the exon 14 skipping mutation. I would ask about potential targeted therapy options, and if there are benefits of immunotherapy or those targeted therapy options (assuming that there are options that are a good fit for your specific mutation). I hope you are able to get your questions answered, good luck with your appointment. Keep us posted.
