Waiting to begin genetic mutation therapy and maybe surgery for lung cancer. Any experiences with this?

Even with private insurance, it's taking forever for treatment to begin.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that it's taking a long time for your treatment to start. It must be very frustrating for you.

    As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the lung cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help

    Hi latchbrook,

    Thanks so much for your encouraging email. I'll do as you recommended and clip on the appropriate links. 

    I'm elderly now, and hope I can be healthy again (avoid Covid!) and move on.
