Hello. Radiation was the easiest for me to handle so far. My worst has been the chemo side effects. Anyone else struggling with just regular movements?

Does new lung cancer immunotherapy research give you hope?

I have stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and came across some interesting research from Columbia University. Scientists discovered a new type of cell that helps lung tumors hide from our immune systems. They found special fibroblast cells that recruit regulatory T cells, which normally keep our immune system balanced but end up protecting the cancer instead. What caught my attention is that this research might lead to new treatments that help our immune systems fight lung cancer better. The treatments would still need a lot more development and testing, but it's encouraging to see scientists understanding more about how these tumors work. I'd love to connect with others who have similar diagnoses and hear about your experiences: • Have you participated in any immunotherapy trials or treatments? • What gives you hope when you read about new cancer research?

4 years ago I was diagnosed with lung NSCLC. They removed my right lower lobe of my lung. 2years later in came back and the Drs. Recommended CyberKnife treatments. Had that and a year later due to scar tissue from that treatment my upper lobe has collapsed. Present it has returned again in the middle lobe. I just had a needle biopsy and blood draw for BioMarkers. Two weeks and the results are still not finalized. Waiting for results so I can start treatments. What are some of the treatments like with side effects.
