@daisydays Thank you for your concern. To answer your questions, I've had ros-1 lung cancer for over 6 years now, and I'm happy to say that as of my last CT scan it's still in remission although I need to continue oral chemo as long as it stays that way. Last summer when the scan showed something in my right shoulder both my oncologist and I thought it was the ros-1 metastasizing. We were both wrong--the biopsy showed it to be something called a giant cell tumor. We agreed that due to my immunity being compromised, my age and health, surgery was not an option. She put me on a second oral chemo, which I am still taking. A recent CT showed the tumor is there, but no larger than before. So here I am stuck with two chemos and their side effects until something changes. Please let us know the results of your medical visits and how things go. You'll be in my prayers.

Hello @lycisca,
Thank you for sharing all that you have gone through.
You have had a difficult time, for over six years, I’m so sorry and I’m very glad to know you have been in remission. Then your shoulder, glad too that it has not grown. Two different kinds of chemotherapy, the side effects must be very difficult. I’m sorry you have to experience any of it.
I will, thank you and you’ll be in my prayers as well along with positive thoughts coming your way.
Hugs 🤗
Daisy
