My husband has just been diagnosed with lung mets . He received treatment chemo radiation 3 years ago (T4aN2cm0)
he also developed scc on the his right side of his neck last year which was removed . Now a tumour in his right lung which they are unable to biopsy, but they have biopsied the lymphnode R11 and it is positive for P16 so it’s not a new cancer but has spread from the original so stage 4.
the lung dr has said he won’t be curative but may have treatment to manage symptoms and prolong his life.
awaiting the MDT to see what they will offer .
any suggestions x
Hi Mrs S.
Have a look at the profile if one of our members who is a few (2/3? ) clear of metastatic cancer after two years of immunotherapy. Click on his name Crofterlad
Has immunotherapy or chemotherapy been mentioned?
Hi Mrs S
the person Dani mentioned Crofterlad I’m still in touch with snd he successfully completed immunotherapy for hpv lung mets and is competing in ultra marathons.
hes 2 years clear at the moment. Hopefully they can offer your husband something similar.
hugs
