Incurable lung cancer

Hiya what type of chemo is he/ she on ?

• Hi he has been on immunotherapy  and another sorry carnt remember  , it worked for 6 month then the cancer started growing  again im scared it may have gone to his brain hes losing his balance ,had a few bad falls .He was supposed  to be starting a new chemo in January  but im worried  his body isnt strong enough  we are seeing the oncologist  tomorrow  morning so scared thanks muffin break .

Hiya, sorry to hear he has had a few falls. I hope he didn't hurt himself, and that results from brain scan will be negative. I can't imagine what you are both going through. Let's hope they can put him on a different kind of treatment. Please stay strong and positive. Please let me know how he gets on. 

Hi Holmes.

I concur with muffin break. Try and be positive, I know it's had but nothing worth having comes easy in life and that includes your health. I hope you get the answers you seek. Xxx

Hi thanks muffin break the brain scan was clear so the oncologist  says the falling and confusion  is the cancer progressing  .She will start a nrw chemo only if she thinks hes strong enough  to take it its an awful  journey  isnt it .

• Yes it's affects everybody close to you mentally, just one big worry ? I still have bad days, but then I pick myself up again. I'm glad I'm not heavy (joke). I'm on chemo tablet Osimertinib which isn't a cure but targets the cancer and keeps it at bay. Take care Rob

Thanks  hamhat we do try to keep positive  and its a relief his brain scan was clear so see what next week brings xx

Glad your doing ok on the tablets youve had a long journey  .My partner  was diagnosed  1 year ago and was so positive but when the chemo  stopped  working  mentally  hes gone down hill he only has me and one son who is supporting him so real hard  take care x

This horrible disease does affect you mentally. It affects me every time I get a cold which always goes to my chest and keeps me coughing all night and I can feel the tumer touching my nerve. When I wait for results from my scans it's worrying as you always think the worst. Being positive looking after your well-being and having a partner who can support. My wife is good at noticing when I'm having a bad patch, she will do something to either make me laugh shout or look stunned, then she will say what head have you got on now and you know what it's always a positive head which comes up Trumps. Everyone who is suffering with cancer goes through different  emotions every day but being positive and strong helps. I wish you all the luck in the world that your partner get the treatment which will help. Rob 

Thankyou  so much for your support means a lot we do have a sense of humor. Which has kept  us going through  good and bad times stay well.x
