Hi - 
Glad you found us. You'll likely hear from a couple of other people who will provide links to great information. I don't have answers to your question, but I offer hope. I was diagnosed with stage IV 7 years ago. I'm still here. 😁

I've stopped by here and there the last few months without much time to comment. Work slowed down so I'm reclaiming my time. First, I had an appointment with Super Doc last Thursday and I remain NED. Because I've been NED almost 5 years, Super Doc moved me to annual scans. I'm not going to lie; I'm a little nervous about that.
I was floating along on my good news until Monday morning. A classmate from junior high/high school/college died as a result of her stage IV lung cancer. She was diagnosed after me with the exact same type but she just couldn't get past it. There are definitely a lot of why questions running through my head. A few classmates reached out to me because they knew her death would hit me differently. Just another loss to cancer from our small glow-in-the-dark cancer-causing hometown. 
I leave for a 10 day cruise next week with another friend from my hometown and yes, she is also dealing with cancer. Anyway, it's a long overdue trip for us. We kept saying we'd go next year, and then the next year. Last fall, her treatment put her in the hospital 3 times and she nearly died the last time she was in the hospital. We booked soon after!

Amazing news, and what a nIce trip to celebrate! I get the scan frequency anxiety, my oncologist changed me to every 6 months and it will be even more given the circus we call Cancer Centre in Vancouver and my head goes in so many directions as I wait but trying to remind myself that it is because they seem confident. Congrats!

Yay for NED! Yay for cruise! Yay for Susan, she's NED and cruisin'!

Cancer affects everyone differently. I’m so sorry to hear of your classmate passing but happy for your NED and moving to annual scans. Glad also to hear that you and your friend are finally taking that cruise. Enjoy!

Susan,
Enjoy yourself on that 10 day cruise sounds like fun and congratulations on NED happy for you

Tom - I told Super Doc that HE had to call my mom and tell her we were changing the frequency.

I'm so pleased to hear that you've been NED for five years! That's incredible! Here's to being NED for life 🥂🥂🍾🍾.

Susan,
Do enjoy that cruise!
The annual scan milestone can be disconcerting, but I still get them annually. However, I no longer require the infused contrast so my low-dose CT is a piece of cake. Any time I can dodge an IV is a good time for me!
Stay the course and steer that ship to the best of times.
Tom

Hi  - 
Your surgeon or family physician should be able to refer you to an oncologist. You definitely need an oncologist because they will have the most knowledge to share regarding your diagnosis and treatment options. 

Hi Melinda - 
Sorry for the reason you're back but we're glad to have you. A lot has changed in the last few years - lots of new information out here. Please let us know how we can support you.

Received my latest scan results a few days before Christmas. I'm still NED - been that way for 4 years. Super Doc says if my next scan (June) is clean, I'll get moved to an annual scqn. If you had told me in August 2016 that - first - I'd still be here and - second - that I'd be NED, I wouldn't have believed you.
If you are newly diagnosed, please know that this disease can be survived. I'm proof.
