Hi all
I saw my onc today, which is exactly 8 years since my original diagnosis of non small cell lung cancer. The new growth is around the tumour that has been stable for about 3 years. Fortunately it is only there and hasn’t gone to any lymph nodes. The next step is to do a ct guided biopsy to confirm it is the same cancer as before. If it is I will start on docetoxel.
Silly me didn’t ask how many rounds I will get. Is there a standard protocol for this treatment? X
Thanks norberry. I can’t believe I didn’t ask this obvious question. Did it work well for you?x
It did exactly what it said on the tin! I did follow it up at a later date with targeted radiotherapy but the chemo saved the day. I do hope you have the same results. X
Thanks Norberrry
That’s good to know. All the treatments I’ve had so far have worked pretty well for me so I’m hopeful this will too.
How often were you scanned? X
