Hi, I had surgery for lung cancer in 2018 and regular 3 monthly scans ever since. I had one session of chemo but it made me so ill I took the decision not to have any more. I am 76. Now there are signs the cancer has returned and although I feel well in myself I am nervous about starting treatment (Erlotinib) next week. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has experience of this. Thank you.
