I had a cough that developed in the spring of '22. It wasn't unusual due to allergies so I went to my doctor and a chest X-ray showed a very small nodule on the right side and thought it was pneumonia. A month later and short of breath I went to the ER which I'm lead to the diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer in my right lung, pleura, lymph nodes, sternum and ribs. I was a mess. I had pleural fluid and a drain. My first treatment took all of it away within 3 months. I'm on my second line now, and still doing great.

@stephlb That’s awful. I’m so sorry. Best to you.

@stephlb, so glad to hear that treatment resolved many of the uncomfortable symptoms within 3 months. What second line treatment protocol are you on now? Manageable side effects?
