Hi Susan! so glad to meet you! I am hungry for information. Did you have four rounds and now which is your treatment? My side effects are not bad so far, I get weak on days 10 to 13 after chemo and super cold almost freezing most of the time but other than that I'm fine. I eat very well and with the 2nd. Chemo I stopped coughing so much. I am now in Houston for my 3rd chemo on 3/23/17 and they will also do a PET scan. I normally stay two days in Houston total. I fly back to Miami the day after my chemo. Be well! Janet

Hi Tom! thank you so much for your insight and advice, I truly appreciate it as I am still learning how to navigate this journey. My type of lung cancer is non small cell with mutation EGFR 20. I take Ondansetron for nausea and other than being tired and extremely cold I am not complaining. My only worry is that I have my son who has special needs and I am alone so I need to fight and live as long as I can. I will read your blog!! Thanks so much Tom and be well, Janet
