      HI, So sorry to hear about your wife's condition, but glad you found us.  I'm happy to hear that her condition is showing improvement and I can attest that we have many survivors here who were diagnosed at Stages III and IV and are still living their lives.  While your here feel free to ask any questions you have and I'm also sure you'll hear from others who were in similar situations very soon. In the meantime, there are three items that may be of assistance to you. A blog was written by one of our major members who was diagnosed with Stage III, then Stage IV lung cancer close to two decades ago.  It is titles "10 Steps to Surviving Lung Cancer"; from a Cancer Survivor" and you and your wife would benefit greatly from reading it. Lung Cancer 101:  This is a plethora of information here that can help educate and empower you and your wife through this difficult journey.  It can be found here. Caregiver's Resource Center:  As a caregiver you have unique demands and needs.  We have a forum where caregivers share their experiences and provide support for one another.  It is on this page. I have no idea of why your screen name is "a no one" but know that you and your wife are important to us, and you'll find great support here. Lou

      Hello, does everybody knows something about Tepotinib? My oncologist does not want to start radiotherapy but rather give my Tepotinib. Thank you for your input.

      Hi all, My 29 year old wife was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My wife was pregnant throughout 2022 and had really bad pregnancy symptoms such as a chronic migraine, bad pelvic pain, and blurred vision which were all put down to pregnancy symptoms. A couple days after giving birth her vision got really bad - we ended up going to an eye hospital who liaised with our local hospital to get scans expedited and then given the diagnosis 3 weeks after the birth.  The cancer spread to her brain (with significant growth), bones, eyes, and liver. She had 10 rounds of palliative radiotherapy to the brain and 1 round to the back/spine. As her type is EGFR exon 19 del, she has been taking tagrisso/osimertinib.  It is now been 5 months since on tagrisso and there has been improvement all around. She was on morphine at the start but no more painkillers and there is a bit more normality. We have a super active 2 year old in addition to our new born (who is coming up to 6 months) and are of course terrified for the future.
