  1. Dear Monica/and to all others, It feels good to hear positive stories. Thank you for sharing. My father was diagnosed with nsclc( stage 4 due to malignant pleural effusion) in March 2015. He was put on Tarceva and responded really well. But it has stopped working. Then, he was put on Tagrisso but his cancer didn't respond. Doctor is recommending chemo (pemetrexed + carboplatin). However, I read so many positive reviews about immunotherapy online. However, doctor said that immunotherapy causes severe side effects. This contradicts what I am reading. I am not sure if I should let my father go through with chemo or should I request for immunotherapy? Care to share treatment options provided to you and the reason you chose a clinical trial. Any advice from others would be greatly appreciated. Decision making becomes really confusing after hours of scouring the Internet and reading tons of information.
