Hi @detroitmom23, if I remember correctly, you had another round of chemo last week, correct? Hopefully your next scans show some improvement, and things can start looking up for you. Are you doing ok?

H Lisa - thank you for thinking about me. It’s much appreciated. I did get my 4th and final chemo last week. This time they made some adjustments and decreased amount of Carboplatin and kept me on steroids for an extra few days. Plus I got a shot of B12 which apparently boosts the chemo and gives some energy. I actually feel pretty good this time around. I did get approved for radiation which was up in the air due to size of lung mass. I do get another scan in two weeks but even so based on last scan they are willing to go forward with it. I hope there won’t be a lot of side effects from radiation but I’m thankful that I’m eligible. I consult with radiologist on May 4th. I also joined a local lung cancer support group through my hospital and I’ve met with them once so far. Lots of people staged at 4 in their diagnosis and still going strong a few years later. One lady diagnosed stage 4 almost 12 years ago. Amazing ❤️. Gives me hope. I’m stage 3c diagnosed 4 months ago. So thankful for the support. We are all in this together. 💜
