Prayers for total success for you. I too am new to this journey. Had segment resection of left upper lobe in January. Clear margins and clear lymph nodes. But solid histology and VPI. So was recommended I do 4 rounds of chemo. Carboplatin and Permexed. Followed by a year of Keytruda. Completed 5 rounds so far. Not too bad fatigue and not much appetite but managing. Praying it works. Have two ground glass opacity nodules in opposite lung they are monitoring via CT Scan. Praying for no changes there as we continue to monitor via CT Scans. Pretty anxious about that if I am being honest. It was determined stage 1 b due to solid histology and VPI.
I am so glad you found this is site helpful. As I am new to it. I must say it does help to know I am not alone. That others have had successful outcomes gives me hope.

Welcome @liabo, You have also endured a lot in the past year! You can give yourself some credit for coming this far, and it's great to hear that you are managing side effects too. Once we have cancer, any changes in our bodies can be concerning, and we've all felt that level of anxiety go up. Keeping an eye on those other nodules is smart but know that they may be nothing of concern too. I try not to worry until I know for sure that there is reason for the worry. Easier said than done in some situations. 🙂
What type of lung cancer were you diagnosed with? Non-small cell? How often are you having Keytruda infusions?
