Lindsay keep the faith!
What type do u have? Small Cell or Non Small cell?
My wife was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer in April, 2015...stage 3a...dr removed 2/3 of her right lung in May...re-staged her to stage 4 in July 2016...she had a genomics study done in the fall of 2016 and from that study, Mayo determined she had a breast cancer mutation in the lungs.
She has been on a clinical trial immunotherapy since Dec, 2016 and today she has a great quality of life. Infusions every three weeks, but very little side effects!
Be sure to ask the dr about a genomics study!
Best of luck!

@burrkay, Thank you for sharing your story. That is amazing! So glad that you got her to the Mayo Clinic. The fact that YOU are posting on Mayo Connect shows what a great support you are to her. I wish here continued success.

I am having targeted brain radiation, then chemo, then a clinical trial that targets my EGFR Exon 20 Insertion mutation. They did the Guardant 360 blood test on me. So glad your wife is doing well!
