Hello! My name is Dawn and I just signed up. I’m wondering if anyone on here has any experience with their first line of chemo becoming ineffective and having to switch to something else? I’m scared. I see the Oncologist this Friday but my CT scans say the cancer has spread to my liver and kidney. It’s already in my lung and bones. I’m struggling to keep hope. Is there anyone?
