Hi
not been around for quite a while
2019 diagnosed with stage one cancer and had top lobe of left lung removed by VATs
December 2019 told cancer had spread to left lung- in total had four new nodules , 3 in left right and one in left lung
January 2021 commenced immunotherapy ( Pembro) continued for 14 months
March 2022 suffered induced colitis and immunotherapy stopped for one month, prescribed steroids
April 2022 recommenced immunotherapy again, but colitis returned and had to stop definitely
April 2022 scan result : near complete response
October 2022 scan result NED
I know the probability of reoccurrence is high, but it’s not as high as my mood although it will probably always be in the back of my mind, I intend to live live
I never thought I would get this result and I wish and pray everyone suffering from this terrible illness gets the same result as me
my thoughts and prayers as always are with you all
