Stage 4 inoperative squamous NSCLC, now on Opdivo last line Tx

Hi Goldenretriever. I was originally dx with 3b squamous non operable nsclc in 2010. I went through the radiation, chemo etc and was ned until June 2016 when a f/u scan showed recurrence. This was confirmed with brochoscopy and PET scan. Put on carbo/gemstar until scan showed slight progression. Put on nivolumab but scan after 6 infusions showed progression and treatment was stopped. I don't know what is next. Have an appointment with radiologist May 14th and chemo oncologist June 11th. Waiting with bated breath until then. Feeling pretty good but concerned also.
Cheers, warm and positive thoughts, stay strong. Basil.

I'm not to good at this computer stuff. But I don't remember or can't find any update on your continued treatment after discovered progression after nivolumab. They just told my husband there was nothing they could do for him. And he went into Hospice care. How did you make out ? I do hope it was better than my husband. Blessings Mary Lou

It has been so long since I have responded, or even thought about this site. I'm sorry that I can't report more positive information for everyone. To get to the point, we are now receiving the amazing support of Harbor Hospice in Muskegon Michigan.. We were told there was nothing more to be done for Jim. His Opdivo stopped working and a new tumor has formed in his other lung along with ground glass. Doctor said he is to weak to be in any trials, thus we were referred to Hospice to focus on quality of life. He has been given possibly 6 months. Shortly after this, the took a fall and broke a rib which took its tole on his physical and mental health. So here we are. We are so blessed we have our faith, friends, neighbors, church family, and family's loving help and support. We are facing each day focusing on our blessings, and dealing with new normal the best we can. I wish you continues success with your treatment, and many more days of feeling good. Gods speed my friend.
