Hi
So yesterday I had the results of the ct scan done last month. The cancers growing again. Inevitable I suppose, but how fortunate to have got this far. Diagnosed stage 4 nsclc squamous in March 2013 with a prognosis of 12 to 18 months. I’ve had a wedge resection, chemo, radiotherapy twice, once as original treatment plan and again when a new tumour grew in my abdomen Immunotherapy when cancer was growing in my lung lining. I’ve been stable since finishing pembro 26 months ago.
As I don’t see my onc until the 12 th, I see myself worrying if there is more treatment out there for me. It’s going to be a long week.

Thanks Pet.
How did you feel with the 2nd lot of radiotherapy? I’ve had this to the right lung and mediastinum and have been left with a burnt oesophagus. I don’t think I’ll be offered it if it turns out to be in a similar location as last time. X
I was lucky and only had a very itchy rash and a bit pain on ribs...but it did work for me until now...so go for it if you can!!!
