Hi Kickass, welcome to the group, but sorry to hear about your mum. Lung cancer treatment has come a very long way in recent years, and there are many of us here that are living with cancer.

If you click on my profile picture, you will be able to read my journey so far.

Take care

Hi Kickass

I always tell the newbies that a lung cancer diagnosis is no longer the death sentence it once was. Almost every year new treatments are being approved e.g immunotherapy.

Do you know what type of Lung Cancer she has? Mine is/was Small Cell Lung Cancer and my last treatment was at the end of 2011. I will leave it up to you to determine if my cancer has had it's ass kicked!
