Anyone out there living with stage 4 lung cancer?

I was diagnosed September 2022 with stage 4 nsc lung cancer. I went through standard chemotherapy, immunotherapy and am currently in a trial of targeted therapy since August 2023. I feel well, just tired in the afternoons. 2024 was a really good year for me. Unfortunately now I have some clots in my lungs. The remedy is twice a day enoxaparin shots for 30 days. I think it’s a form of heparin. Once over the shock of that news I’m grateful they were found early on the c t scan. I keep wondering why this lung cancer occurred. Keep up the hope. Hugs

@dianemb, I'm glad that 2024 was good to you. When we can get through years with minimal issues, it's a good year!
I'm glad that the CT scan showed the blood clots, and that they have an additional medication to try to treat them. Do your doctors think the clots could be related to your targeted therapy? Some of the targeted therapies have that as a side effect. I've been on mine for 4 1/2 years now.
