Hello Burdyblue,
Sorry to hear about your chemo journey to date......what you have described in detail sums up what one should expect although everyone does respond differently (I'm guessing that journaling your ups and downs is actually therapeutic for you). Good that your oncologist listened to you and lowered your dosage accordingly. As you are probably learning, managing your supportive medications during your chemo treatments is an exercise in trying to figure out what works best for you without some of the unwarranted side effects (mental fog for one). Whether to undergo chemotherapy for Stage 2 lung cancer is a personal choice that should be made in consultation with your oncologist's feedback. Personally, I would have second guessed myself to this day if I hadn't taken that "insurance" step.

I apologize for assuming Tagrisso targeted therapy would be in your future after completion of your chemo treatments. Tagrisso is indicated for a certain type of cellular genetic mutation (ie. EGFR mutation) that leads to a common form of lung cancer predominately in non-smokers. You may want to confer with your oncologist to determine if the genetic marker testing they performed on your tumor indicated any specific genetic mutation as that would perhaps dictate which subsequent drug therapy might be beneficial in your case.

I had the pleasure of working in South Texas for a period of time and my lasting memory is how strong, resilient and supportive the people are there.......we can tell you have those same traits. Continued good luck and keep expanding your husband's domestic skills!
