Hello Linda, @mzlindam14, welcome to the lung cancer group. We all wish you didn't have stage IV lung cancer, but there are many of us here, so I'm glad that you found us! I was diagnosed as stage IV over 5 years ago, with one of the mutation-based cancers, ALK positive. Adjusting to a new diagnosis isn't easy, and it certainly comes with an emotional weight that can be more difficult that the treatments themselves. Live and cherish each day.
What type of lung cancer do you have? What treatments have you had?
