My husband also has stage IV meaning it metastasized to his other lung, in other words both lungs. PetScan showed no other spreading, this was done in Sept. He has just completed 4 rounds of chemo & immunotherapy. Very few side effects, other than lots of sleep.

My husband had 4 rounds of Carboplatin, Alimtz, and Keytruda. The Keytruda may have given him inflamation in his lungs so he was put on heavy doses of steroids, and round 5 he had only Alimtz. Then another CT, still indicating inflamation. was due for round 6 today but due to continued inflamation, no treatment, advised to contact his pulmonologist before they proceed with further treatment.
My husband is extremely fatigued but sleeps rather well with his codeine cough medicine. He has also been prescribed a very small dose of lorazepam for sleeping.
How is he doing?

Day three after chemo and just very fatigued and emotional. I think the hardest part is the emotional stress.
