Hello @meghansa65 !

Thank God my lungs are clear! Yes, I was on lenvima - which (I believe) turned the mass on my neck necrotic. Then I was on Ketruda which was very effective. The mass on my neck actually abscessed (as it was into my skin) - it's now much much smaller with scar tissue and may be operable soon. My tumor numbers went down, however, after about 5 months, I did have side effects from Keytruda, so I had to pause it. My side effects have now subsided and doc is trying to get me on a clinical trial of Ketruda that addresses Pembro side effects so that a patient can stay on it longer without interruption. Pembro really helped me.
Other than that, I do supplements, including curcumin daily. I also incorporate flax soil - (see Budwig plan). Walking is very important for my blood pressure and overall mood and strength/balance. I rest/sleep a lot and try to avoid stressful. Prayer of course is a lifeline - we must keep in a hopeful state of mind. I also try to get sunshine/outdoors daily even if it's only for 15 minutes or so. (Some old hospital used to have solariums you know.) Pretty much everything I eat is anti-cancer. I try to stay away from sugar as much as possible, although I'm not always perfect. I was doing a low carb/keto diet, but since side effects, have been incorporating sourdough bread lately (it's good for the gut). Also, did you know that eating cacao is good for you - it brings out stem cells from the bones. So I do take high (84%) dark chocolate every day. I have a wonderful oncologist and follow Dr. William Li on Youtube. He also has a great book out "Eat to beat Disease" . So much more to tell, but I've definitely been unabridged here, so I will say God go with you and may you be blessed my friend. 🙂

@lizzymbee Hei again! thanks for your wonderful reply. And I hope I will be better like you. I am very happy to read that your lungs has been cleared. I have 40 lung nodules, how about yours? I am 65 years old when I got diagnosed, how about you? Thanks for wishing meg well and i am very touched "God go with you and you may be blessed my friend" I pray to God all the time to give me more time. And once again, thanks for sharing.
