@lls8000 @cmcguire10 Thank you both for your kind words, I appreciate it a lot. The doctors have determined it's stage 3A, spread to lympnodes on the same side as the tumor. I think the scariest part is just waiting, especially because there is a fear it's spreading. He is starting on Tuesday with carboplatin, abraxane, and keytruda. His pdl1 expression is 2%, so I'm scared about it's efficacy. He is doing okay, just fatigued and coughing a bit. He is hoping if the therapy works, he can get off oxygen, which the doctor said is a big possibility. I'm hoping if the medicine does its job & tumor shrinks, he can be a candidate for surgery, but this doctor doesn't seem to think it's a possibility. Thank you for caring, it's very isolating.
