Hi Mary Ann did your doctor suggest target therapy before starting chemo? I too am stage 4 and was diagnosed April of 2013. I am 46 years old and found out because I had a lump on my neck that I had checked out. I started on tarceva which is a targeted therapy and it cleared up the cancer 90% in my lungs and also cleared up the cancer I had in my spine. To go on targeted therapies they just need to do a test on the mutations that are in the CANCER cells. Worth looking into. I wish you much luck on this new journey.
