i have been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer complicated by ILD / the only treatment on offer is chemo / has anyone else had the same diagnosis?
Hi golly my lung cancer treatment is different to yours, but i wanted to welcome you to the group.
thank you / i am still waiting for a date for treatment to start and physically my breathing is worse when i walk the dog. my oncologist is treading carefully with the chemo as my intestrial lung disease complicates things / the drugs could cause a flare up of pneummonias which is pretty bad / they have no clinical trial ready yet for the AKT1 mutation which is also present so my only chance of extending life is to have the chemo / i’m sick with fear of the unknown and the effects of chemo - has anyone else had these complications
