Long term treatment

Hi Dave,

Yeah, well, it does get to be a drag after a while and feel like it's taken over your life. I'm 5 years along from diagnosis and only now looking at the prospect of maybe being cancer free. It's just a process you have to go through and as I keep telling myself, it beats the alternative.

kind regards,
Steve

HI Steve,,

thanks for your email which I appreciate. Good to know that you are now looking at the prospect of maybe being cancer free after 5 five years. Puts my 2 years into a better perspective. Good luck. And your 100% right - it does beat the alternative.

Kind regards,

Dave

I know it's a bit of a mind shift for you but it's actually good news.  It means that your cancer is one which can be treated like a chronic illness.  People aren't used to thinking of lung cancer that way but cutting edge treatments mean it's the reality for many.

Hi Lolie,

thank you for your kind thoughts. It was a bit of a shock when I first found out about the 2 year treatment and I got it all out of perspective. I'm doing much better now and your reply has also greatly helped. This is a great community.
