So, it seems I have stage 4 lung cancer, and it is incurable. I've been to the oncologist yesterday to finally get some answers. In some ways I am relieved to actually know what is going on. And then terrified of what is next. I feel well, and there was no signs of cancer on my last CT scan. I had prepared myself for Cancer of Unknown Origin (which is really difficult to treat) so in some respects I think I am quite lucky I've got a treatment plan. At least they didn't tell me to go home and get my affairs in order! They are proposing to offer me chemotherapy - Carboplatin and Pemetrexed and immunotherapy - Pembrolizomab. Is there anyone else here who I can connect with in the same position? I've just asked to join the incurable cancer group for patients, would appreciate some peer support from someone who has been on this particular white knuckle ride!
Hi Newbie
I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with incurable lung cancer and I can understand that you'd like to talk to others who may be having the same treatment as you.
I'm not sure if you meant to post this in the lung cancer group, which I can see you've been posting in, but if so clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post.
