Pleased to have found you all

Hello boracay

welcome to the forum but sorry you find yourself here. You don’t say what type of lung cancer you have or what treatment plan you have a little more detail might help.
i have NSCLC which is responding to treatment at the moment and I’m dry pleased it is, I’m 58 and when I was diagnosed last December I was very shocked.

how are you doing and how is your treatment going for you.

look forward to hearing from you

Hi hamhat,

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I just found the forum so i didn't really know what to say (about myself and/or my cancer) as an introduction.

I also have NSCLC in my lung which is responding well to 3-weekly treatment with ALIMTA ( pemetrexed disodium) chemotherapy for the moment. However, I'm suffering from immunotherapy side effects from the first cycle of chemo-immuno therapy in Dec-Jan, which still gives me trouble breatihng at times, so I am also taking oral cortisone daily for that.

Hiya Boracay

Your chemotherapy and immunotherapy side effects will improve just hang in there, I had issues in the beginning, I’m much better now. We have the same cancer type I have NSCLC, so I really do sympathise with you.

give yourself time, I do hope you have lots of support around you in France, I am always happy to chat if you need an ear
