Hi, my husband was diagnosed in May, he was hoping for surgery but because it took from January to diagnose it has spread from his lung to lymph nodes, so surgery isn't an option.
He's just finished 4 rounds of chemo, and immunotherapy, he's just been told he'll continue with immunotherapy every 6 weeks for 17 sessions, and that's all that can happen, is anyone else going through a similar experience? This is going to prolong his life but they couldn't really say for how long, he's stage 4, and the tumor has shrunk loads, so that is good, just struggling with how to process and feel about it, now we know it's definitely not curable.
