Living with lung cancer - Introduce yourself & come say hi

Hi @millie5737, It sounds like you and your husband have had some fabulous adventures! I'm glad that you were able to do that when everyone was feeling well.
I'm sorry to hear that he's struggling. Have there been any scans after the 8 week hiatus; is there tumor growth, or is the inflammation just not getting better? It can be so hard to know what the cause is, and then hard to know what to treat. What a circle of confusion we live in sometimes! It's never fun or easy. Wishing you both the best, Lisa

The scans showed no response to treatment (meaning tumor growth) but continued inflammation. We have thought possibly a visit to infectious disease doctor, after the final elimination of a fungus infection that takes 6 more weeks to return. The oncologist actually left the decision to have infusion #6 up to him. He said yes and received it yesterday. Doing nothing seemed to be giving up.
