Stage 4 likely - what are the treatment options if surgery is not one?

Posted by strongone21 @strongone21, Jul 7 5:26pm

Recently diagnosed from a PET scan that a large nodule, lymph node and some metastatic presence affecting tissues around spine and ribs. No symptoms at all other than a mild diaphragm area pain. With the metastatic nature I am worried about treatment options if removing nodule/lymph node will not help. Any experience from a stage 4 lung cancer in terms of survival rates? Please share any relevant experience that might help me. Thank you

@strongone21, I'm wishing you well. I'm sure this is a difficult time for you. Knowing that you have two doctors that agree on the treatment plan is reassuring. I found a few discussions and Connect members with KRAS G12D.
- @carlies, how has your treatment been going? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-with-kras-nsclc-andor-specifically-kras-g12d-treatment/
- @zora0121 has G12D mutation. @zora0121, did you have immunotherapy in addition to your chemo regimen?
