Lung cancer stage 4 , lymph node spread ,new to the site

Hello everyone

i was diagnosed aged 57 with nsc adenocarcinoma of right lung in March 2021 and given prognosis of 4 months without treatment. My sister died a few weeks after my diagnosis and she was in the hospice unit . I didn’t share my diagnosis with her before she died.

The hardest part for me emotionally was telling my husband , my daughter and son.

I have a beautiful grand daughter who brings me immense joy , she will be 4 in January. I am lucky to have good friends and I’m a retired nurse 

my oncologist offered me immunotherapy Keytruda and I’ve been having this every 6 weeks since then without any major side effects and with a good response. I’ve had to start thyroxine tablets as I’d been feeling very tired and cold in the summer. A few weeks of lethargy ensued but I was able to enjoy the garden outside wrapped in blankets .

I don’t sleep very well and am troubled with right shoulder pain and the paracetamol isn’t helping much . I’ve also been using Brufen gel and deep heat at night.

treatment number 6 is next Friday , if my blood tests are ok 

I feel I’m at a good level presently and have been able to walk further than I have for a while , although not my previous 10k steps but hey ho , onwards and upwards !

ive been reading the forum and I’m heartened to see so much support within it so Thankyou
