How do you find strength while living with stage 4 lung cancer?

Hi everyone Healing vibes to all of you! I have had a to deal with a cold and body soreness lately but “I’ve learned that living with stage IV lung cancer isn’t about being perfect or always strong—it’s about showing up in whatever way your body allows that day. Some days I train, some days I recover, and some days I simply rest—but I don’t quit. Strength isn’t just pushing harder, it’s staying consistent through the ups and the sideways. I’m not less than anything—I’m still building my life, one day at a time.”

What's it like having KRAS G12C lung cancer and targeted therapy options?

I have non-small cell lung cancer with a KRAS G12C mutation. I just read about some promising research on a new drug called zoldonrasib, but it's specifically for people with KRAS G12D mutations, which is different from what I have. The article mentioned that those of us with KRAS G12C mutations may already have access to FDA-approved targeted therapies like sotorasib or adagrasib, which could be more relevant options to discuss with our doctors. I'm curious about others' experiences with KRAS mutations and targeted treatments. It's interesting how specific these treatments can be to the exact mutation type. • If you have KRAS G12C like me, what has your treatment experience been like with targeted therapies? • For anyone with different KRAS mutations, how did you navigate the treatment options available for your specific type?

Why am I so depressed waiting for cancer surgery to be scheduled?

I'm depressed and haven't left the house. Awaiting scheduling of surgery. Still. I'm eating anything chocolate or full of sodium nitrates and I don't care. Called a social worker at Cleveland Clinic and she was so dismissive, I just cried. I'm so frigging tired of waiting. If it wasn't for Google I would not know what type of cancer I have.
