Just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung primary. Metastatic spread to brain x 2, liver x3, bone x3 lymph and potentially adrenal glands. The only symptoms have and that I presented with are unsteadiness to one side and now tiredness. Obviously for all of us to this group its a massive shock/blow.
The pain of seeing your loved ones go through this is more than I can bear. My daughter is due to give birth to her first baby in next couple of weeks. I can't imagine not being wel and with her during labour (I'm a midwife too)
They think they have identified the type that may be suitable for targeted immunotherapy but waiting on a few more resultsfrom mung biopsy, but now due to timing may not start for a couple of weeks.They have also mentioned doing some brain treatment tol.
How do you get past this time? Its only been 7 weeks since any symptoms began and my world has just completely imploded.
I know this outcome isn't going to be good. I just need some idea of time and success rate and how to cope til the next part
