Just reading this now. Did you have treatments? I have it in my upper lung and another in my lower. The upper is right close to the Aorta and the other to a lymph node. I have opted not to have treatment as it would be aggressive radiation and chemo. I would like to keep my quality of life opposed to laying around being sick. I’m told months to a year or possibly more as I’m a pretty healthy 85 year old. Just had a brain scan as I am having headaches ever since the bronchoscopy, and he wants to make sure hasn’t gone to the brain.

Yes, I had treatments. I had a grandchild on the way and I needed to fight hard so we started chemo immediately. After six rounds and no results I was a good candidate for Opdivo immunotherapy. The Opdivo started working within six weeks. I’ll probably never be cancer free but the tumors are not progressing.
