Lung cancer with joints and muscles sore.

Posted by richcolleen @richcolleen, Apr 10, 2020

I have stage 4 lung cancer which has spread before caught. What I’m wondering if anyone has problems with all joints sore? I was on chemo and immune therapy 8 months and since (I quit chemo due to very sick days) been on just immune therapy and felt pretty good until the last week.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

@shortshot80 - I know that I dread the day when I hear that no further treatments are available for my stage 4 lung cancer. I can't imagine how difficult this was for you to hear. You have certainly been an example of bravery and positive thinking and an inspiration to all of us. I too am looking forward to reading your book. It's amazing that you just pushed through and got this done despite the difficulties presented by your cancer and treatments. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey and showing that each day is a gift!. I know that this is such a terrible time for social isolation so I am relieved to know that your son is still living with you. Bless you, and please let us know if we can further be of help.

HI TERESA, I AM DOING PRETTY GOOD. i LOOK GOOD AND FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW. YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT DAY MY SON RANDY IS WITH ME FOR A COUPLE DAYS WHILE RICHARD WENT HOME TO BE WITH HIS WIFE. ANYWAY RANDY WALKED WITH ME A WHOLE BLOCK AND A QUARTER TO THE POST OFFICE AND BACK. IT WAS SUCH A LOVELY DAY AND WARM. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WALING TO THE POST OFFICE IN OVER A YEAR. I FEEL REALLY PROUD OF MY SELF TO DOING THE WALK. NANCY

@shortshot80, Nancy,
How nice that you and Randy could take such a nice walk, you should feel proud of yourself.
I hope you have many more sunny days to walk and visit with your family.

@shortshot80, good to get an update from you. Did your doctors talk to you about getting access to palliative care or sometimes called, comfort care or symptom management?

@shortshot80 Hello Nancy,

I've been thinking about you. I hope you had a good Mother's Day. I think it was quiet for all of us because of the restrictions, but I hope the weather was good for a walk.
