Thank you. Will add that to my list. One book I’ve read, “When Breathe Becomes Air,” by Paul Kalanithi; is an excellent book. Not in the same category; ie, he is a neurosurgeon who dies from his cancer. But it’s a moving biography and gives a unique perspective of a doctor addressing his own cancer. I’m glad I read it.

@artistrose, I'm glad that your biomarker results came back! I was off-line for a bit, so I'm just catching up. You'll find the right balance in treatments, holistic, diet, etc. It can be overwhelming. It's great that you are involving palliative care right away, I love that idea.
“When Breathe Becomes Air,” by Paul Kalanithi is one of my favorites. I read it once a year at my diagnosis anniversary for the first few years. It can be too sobering for some people, but I love that it addresses the realities of the disease.
When will you have scans again? CT and Brain MRI?
