Hi Betty, yes I have extensive stage 4 small lung cancer I've had it since 2021 and its getting harder what i find these days is praying and having faith

I have been fighting smal Cell lung cancer since 2014 i have had half my left lung removed i’ve been stage four since 2017. It has spread back to my left lung three nodules and six nodules right lung. It’s in my left adrenal gland. Also I have a brain tumor, I had stomach cancer they thought it was the spleen it was behind the spleen size of the baseball. They want me to do chemotherapy every 3 weeks forever or till I can’t take it anymore but I chickened out 3X but I tried some radiation 30 treatments

I was diagnosed in June 2023 I had surgery said it was stage one had cat scan 2 months ago it's back I go to Doc Sept 5

Hi I was diagnosis with 4 stage lung cancer after I almost died from pneumonia, and I guess when I first got sick with pneumonia I slept for almost two weeks, my boyfriend and youngest son who 29 would make sure I was eating and peeing in the right spot of course I was they wanted me to go h to the hospital but I hate it but my son said my eyes were glazed over like I almost looked dead the doc said my body was preparing for it to pass on. Then I find out I have 4 stage lung cancer and if it wasn't treated aggressively I will l of certainly died. And now I still have cancer but doing so much better💯

Yes, I am! I was diagnosed last year with stage1b lung cancer with a small tumor in my left lung. I underwent 10 radiation treatments which seemed to d o the job, the tumor shrunk slightly and every thing was fine until my last test last week, the tumor started growing again. It hasn't traveled any where, still stage 1b. The decision was made to put me on Keytruda Infusion starting next week, my Dr thinks it will work well for me. Has anyone else here used it and if so has it gelped?

Have ya all been able to continue working through all the treatments and side effects? I'm newly diagnosed with Small cell carcinoma lung cancer. I meet with the Oncologist next week for the first time. Ive no idea what stage and im sure there will be more test. I read that this cancer is very aggressive and to be honest I'm scared to death. 6 days ago they removed a nodule from my right middle lung. They were also going to remove a Lymph node, however that is in a dangerous spot so they left it. I am the Director of Housekeeping/Laundry in a nursing home, I work full-time but unsure if I will be unable to work with this cancer and treatments. Any information/experience is welcome.

Patrick, did you take Keytruda and has it helped? I sure hope so!! I have stage 1 also and have done 5 radiation sessions. Turned down chemo/immunotherapy. I will have scan in January. I’m going to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fl

Hi, yes I had my first Infusion with Keytruda 3 weeks ago, getting my next one the 14th. Have had no ill effects nor experienced any of the possible bad symptoms, good luck, God's Speed!
