Hearing this gives me hope! May I ask what treatments you received. I, too, am Stage IV.

Hi @lmd, my lung cancer is driven by a biomarker mutation, ALK. So, I was able to go straight to a targeted therapy (alectinib). I've been taking it for the past 3.5 years. I have scans every 3-4 months, and so far the meds keep doing thier job. I know, like all of us, that someday I'll be facing further treatment decisions. For now, I appreciate each day!
