3-month survival for stage IV lung cancer? Is it true? Need hope

Posted by rlf66 @rlf66, 2 days ago

I was on internet checking for stats on survival time for stage IV lung cancer. One site mentioned that most people have a 3 month survival time!! Obviously, I was shocked and very discouraged re: my diagnosis over month ago. I have still to consult doctor and find out what type of cancer I have. I know it is NSCC non small cell cancer which metastiziced to my right temple which makes it stage IV. I will need to go for further test to see where it may be surfaced. A PET scan over month ago found it left lung.

Hiya@rlf66 I was diagnosed with stage IV nSCLC that had spread from lung to liver, pelvis, hips, spine and clavicles. Immediately started radiation then chemo. My oct scan showed 8 of 10 tumors had reduced or eliminated. Now on keytruda to attack the others. I too read the horror stories on the internet but with today’s drugs it’s beatable.
