The plan is Immunotherapy but thay needed DNA so in the meantime thay are going to put me on Chemo. If anyone could let me know what to expect iam at a loss and don't know anything about the disease and anything would be a help.

Welcome @harley123. You've come to the right place to give and get support and to learn from the experiences of others who are living with non small cell lung cancer, like @ta52 @lls8000 @richcolleen @carebears91 @pat3017a @marshall8318 @seaspray and others.

You are not alone in finding lung cancer accidently when getting imaging studies for a shoulder issue. This happened to a dear friend of mine in 2008 and he's still here today.

Tom, do you know what stage your cancer is? Did you have surgery? Oops, I'm asking questions, but you're the one who has questions. Please ask away.
