@mrnootz, it is so encouraging to hear your story and that successful treatment has led to there no longer being any evidence of disease (NED). I know oncologists tend not to use the term cured, but I rejoice with you that you can shout that from the roof tops.

As you have stated in other posts, treatments for lung cancer will differ depending on stage. It will also differ based on additional factors such as type of lung cancer, genetic mutations, age and health status of the patient, etc. Thus it is important to keep in mind that everyone is different and it cannot be categorically proclaimed that treatment x will cure lung cancer.

This is also described in the Community Guidelines: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/

@mrnootz, have you completed treatment now? What is your followup schedule?

I am glad that worked for you and think my doctors would have suggested it if it were appropriate for me but I will ask out of curiosity ,thanks!
