Hello again @janlanderz- This must be so hard for you. I too, as you know, have stage 4 lung cancer and if I get COVID-19 I will most certainly not survive it. All lung cancers damage lung tissues. Also, you have had some serious chemicals that probably damaged some too. Cancer patients have weakened immune systems so that is why he said what he did about you not surviving the virus. And according to most medical reports people who are put on respirators easily succumb.

It's amazing that you have stage 4 lung cancer and do not have any shortness of breath. I know that you have struggled to secure trusting doctors and treatments in the past. Since your present oncologist and his nurse seem to be poopooing your symptoms and contradicting what you've heard about COVID-19 and hospitals I am wondering if you think that it's time to seek other channels for your treatments and sanity. Is this something that you might consider?

I may be changing oncologists, but that requires driving 2 and a half hours away to see the doctor, which is fine.. because I can apparently get my infusions at a hospital, that is 45 minutes from here.. basically considered like one of their satellite sites for infusions and or scans, etc..
