Thank you for sharing your story. It gives me hope. I’ve had this dreadful feeling that I’ve reached the end of life 😞. I’m very very happy for you that you’ve done so well . Is your targeted therapy radiation? How often?
Again it gives me some kind of hope ❤️🙏.

Thanks! There really is hope in the lung cancer world, there are so many new treatment options. Some are very specialized to the type of cancer. My cancer is caused by a cellular mutation (called ALK Positive). It’s very complex, and I’m glad there are really smart scientists in the world that understand it all! The targeted therapy is an oral medication that I take twice a day. It’s reduced the tumors and kept new ones from forming. I have CT scans every four months, and an MRI once a year, just to keep a close eye on things. It is very manageable.
Good luck next week, 🤞🏻🙏
