My wife has been diagnosed with lung cancer recently, which has spread to he stomach and lymph nodes. 

She has received her second dose of chemotherapy along with her first dose of immunotherapy, which will be repeated on a 3 week cycle. 

After the 3rd treatment she will be receiving a CT scan to detect any progress. 

The two treatments together were very hard on her and she needed total rest for about 8 days. 

Is this normal? 

Is there any way of us / me knowing if the treatment is working other than the scan? 

A week  after her first treatment her fitness, strength and breathing improved and continues to improve, all is significantly better before her treatment and diagnoses. 

Thank you for your support..
