Welcome Janna. I’m sorry that you are starting this journey with stage 4a non-small cell lung cancer. Allow me to introduce you to @richcolleen @loula @liz8716 @meka @lls8000 and others who are fellow journeymen and women.

Good for you with keeping up your physical activity on the elliptical as you’re able. During the first week when you feel some side effects, what brings you comfort? How do you stay social?

My iPad and cell phone are a big help and my husband has been wonderful, married to him 59 years yesterday. We had a nice visit to a San Diego park where we watched sail boats and took a nice walk logging 1 1/2 miles on my Fitbit. I’ve read it’s even more important to keep my lungs strong now. My tumor is .43 of an inch at diagnosis so that’s my least problem. Since this has spread to the pleura, I’ve needed to be drained of fluid 4 times. My Onc feels that will dry up with my chemo. I am grateful for the strides medicine have made for nsclc in recent years as they will buy me a little more time hopefully.
