Hi just new to this so don’t know how it all works I’m hoping for a chat about anything really as I’m sat at home doing nothing waiting for my new treatment for lung cancer as the immunotherapy isn’t working:(

    Hi there Faketanqueen (nice name) - nothing on your profile so don't know how I can help. I have NSCLC and am on a relatively new medication called Tagrisso (I was the first patient my onc had prescribed this drug for). What's your "story"?

    Hi had a partial lobectomey last March and then my cancer came back in July so I was having immunotherapy but it’s not working so I’m now waiting for target & chemotherapy :( 

  • Hi Faketanqueen,

    Hubby heard yday that after a year of immunotherapy the cancer has now started its March again, so he's awaiting NHS funding approval for 4/6 rounds of chemo again (docetaxel this time)and targeted treatment nintedanib 

    So it seems we start the whole process again

    He's 58  stage 4 with liver and spleen mets. 

    How're you feeling and when will you get news on treatment? 

    Snoops x
