Just diagnosed with a 8mm spiculated nodule In Left upper lung

Dec 2022 found 3.5 spiculated mass. Feb 2023 open thoracotomy to remove right upper lobe. Had cancer in situ at margins of surgery. They took a wait and see and turned into more invasive cancer. Spread to carina, and left main bronchus. March-April of 2024 had 5 days a week of radiation for 6 weeks. Now spread all over airways of left lung , in 2 lymph nodes and trachea. Just started dual immunotherapy. Are holding off on chemo cause I also have been diagnosed with mycobacterium abscessus which is horrible and a very lengthy treatment with 3 toxic antibiotics. I am not in a good place right now

You're a very strong person and I will be praying that You will be cured. I understand why you wouldn't be in a good place right now after what you stated in your comments. Please know that you have at least one person praying for a successful outcome from here on out. God bless you and heal you.

@susies215, my heart goes out to you. I'm sure the past couple of years have taken a toll on you physically and mentally. The immunotherapy can offer new hope. It can work wonders. Sometimes a new treatment is just what we need, and that hope is enough to keep us going. Obviously, your body is going through a lot with the mycobacterium abscessus treatments too. Be sure to stay in close contact with your doctors and team regarding any side effects that you're experiencing. Big hugs to you.
Do you have something or someone that you can look to take your mind off all of this?, even just a hobby, a good book or a movie.
Hugs to you.
