Hi, I have been recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer and I'm palliative. I'm having 4 cycles of 2 chemo drugs and 1 immunotherapy drug, then will go onto a maintenance regime where they will drop one chemo drug.

I'm taking part in a clinical trial for Lunar 2. Wondered if anyone else is on this? I know it's been used for brain cancer and prostate cancer. I'm struggling with it and cannot imagine I will be able to wear it until the very end.

Lunar 2 is a device you wear day and night with large pads x4 around the chest for lung cancer, it emits electricity to disrupt cell division of cancer cells.

Hi, u could do that by unplugging the cables from the device and tying them up. If u were to do that at night, to my mind u might as well be attached to the machine. Depends on if someone struggles with their sleep. I never slept well until I started chemo/immuno, now I sleep like a baby. But it only took me a couple of nights to get used to it. That was not an issue for me. OR u could disconnect during the day sometime. Personally I decided to have a couple of days off a week. The more u can wear it the better.

Everyone is different so yr partner might be alright with it. It's worth a go, after all it is a trial so they can always change their mind.
