Hi, I am 60 years old and was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal lung cancer in May 2023 and was given 5 years. I’ve just finished 20 cycles of Amivantimab and I'm still taking Lazertinib daily.
I had to stop the Amivantimab because of the various side effects. That's the long story cut short but I wanted to join in to ask for any advice anyone might have to get myself out of a very low period? I don't want to do anything, go anywhere and can't see the point in much at all. My husband has been amazing but I think he's struggling to know how to help me out of this.
Look forward to hearing from anyone.

Hi Net59 welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. It is very hard when you find yourself in this situation. There have been many times that I found myself not wanting to do anything, not see anyone, or leave the house. What I do know, is that if I can get out the house for a little walk or a little drive, it does make me feel better.
Do you have any support groups near you? There are often macmillan centres, or a maggies centre located near the hospital, who are great for popping into just for a chat.
You can always come here to have a chat with one of us. We are certainly not experts, but we do know what you are going through, because we are going through it too.
