Hi Jackie. I have non-small cell lung cancer. The treatments that I received was radiation, chemo therapy, currently I a being treated with an immuno therapy drug tagrisso and there is also targeted therapy. Immuno therapy can be used in conjunction with chemo or by itself.

Jackie- I just got back from my 1st 3 month check up at Mayo, with a good report, so first tell him that you're at the right place to quell fears! I think what stage he is at is key. Mine was small enough to where they did a " segmental resection" surgery this April that included removing the lymph nodes and following up with 4 rounds of chemo during the summer. The most traumatic part was the lung biopsy at the hospital near home that diagnosed it and resulted in a partial lung collapse.
The American Cancer Society had the most helpful website. But, talking to doctors will get him info specific to his situation. And, don't hesitate to get a 2nd opinion. (At home they wanted to remove more than what the surgeon at Mayo felt was prudent.) I now am back to where I was on exercise or a bit better and feel better than ever even though I know I still have moderate COPD.
