Thank you, @akjckc. People do reference older discussions, especially when there is valuable information and practical tips like you offered here.

Social workers and patient navigators are such fabulous assets to your team, especially when dealing with cancer or chronic condition.

What type of lung cancer does your husband have? How is he doing? How are you doing?

My 72 year old husband has stage 4 squamous cell lung cancer. It is non operable and he has 3 new nodes. He has had 5 chemo (carbo/taxal) and 30 radiation treatments. We are currently in the ER after side effects from 2nd immunotherapy (durvalumab/imfinzi) treatment. They are running lots of tests to ensure no damage to organs. Scary stuff and a little disheartening. We are both hanging in there.
