My husband got his results of his last CT scan. He has his last cycle of chemo tomorow and then apparently has 3 weekly immunotherapy sessions. my husband has COPD, 2 lung tumours and a brain tumour from the lung. The results so far after 3 cyles of chemo is that one llug tumour has grown by only 2mm the other is 'stable', brain tumour we have no result as ye from Radiotherapy. We saw the Oncologist who would not commit to likely timescales. My husband and i have a need to know just what we are up against. We know it is not curable and it is only manageable. we have both read that it could be 6 months, or slightly longer with treatment, is this correct? Can anyone advise what to expect please?
Hi Mandie, sorry you are going through this. It might help if you join the lung Cancer group, (ype it into the search bar). There are loads of people on there who will all offer you their support. I have found them a great source of comfort and positivity despite diagnosis.. You take care and stay strong xx
