Hey all, 
Quick update, I’ve been pretty good. I’ve managed my nausea with an anti acid pill I was prescribed. Other than that life has been pretty normal as it gets, no sickness or anything. I’ve been working again as well, I’m just waiting for my next infusion. Hopefully y’all are good and good news has come yall way. 

Hey all, 
Treatment hasn’t been too hard on me. It’s actually a lot easier than the chemo definitely was. I’ll be on this for 4 infusions so I hope it works, I feel as it will but let’s hope. I’ve been having a lot of nausea last 2 days, I’ve been taking compazine but it hasn’t worked that well. Any other remedies for nausea? I could definitely use it. Doc said it’s the disease causing it but I feel like it’s left over symptoms from chemo. Thank you all, much love and luck to all. ❤️

Ale,
I just had surgery and there were two drugs they needed to use for me to stop nausea.  Zofran was one and within a minute after going into my IV I could feel the nausea leave.  Please ask for it?

Ale, Compazine never worked for me but Zofran did. There is also Phenergan, but that always put me to sleep. You'll need a prescription for both. Good luck and hope you feel better. 

Hey all, 
Quick update on my targeted therapy. It was accepted by insurance and I’ll be starting tomorrow. Let’s hope this does the trick and controls this thing! 

Hey all, 
Treatment with the new drug starts today. I found out it’s called enhertu and it targets the mutation in my blood to kill it off or put it under control. Let’s hope it works and does the trick!

Scan results are back.. it’s not good. There’s progression in my lung.. the main spot hasn’t changed but more spots came up. 
 
So I’ll be on targeted therapy now.. once it gets approved. Hopefully it does and it works.

I believe it’s infused like normal chemo is. I really don’t know much about it so I’ll be asking questions tomorrow.

Will the therapy be pills or Intravenous?  Good luck, we all are rooting for you!

Ale, I rely on the Impressions section of scan reports, but you've already gotten your oncologist's analysis, so s/he knows best. Let's hope your insurance approval comes through quickly so you can start your targeted therapy. 

Ale,
Lexie is spot on here.  Contact your oncologist and get clear information so that you can get away from any interpretation and onto solid conclusions.  It may still be bad or perhaps better than you thought, but at least you'll know exactly where you are and then you can ask how the new treatment is expected to be effective under the present circumstances...  You need hard data and that seems lacking right now.  Best of luck to you on this.
Lou

Judy’s right—pay more attention to what the oncologist says than the radiology report. You can also always get a second opinion on treatment options. Hope your insurance comes through fast.
And thanks for the well-wishes for me. One of the research nurses put me in touch with another woman who is starting this same trial next week. We agreed to exchange numbers and finally connected today. We may be like two ships passing in the night—her arrival will pretty much coincide with my departure next week. But still, good to have a buddy to compare notes with. She was very interested in this group too, so I sent her a link to the forums.

I’m actually going to be getting the targeted therapy if it’s approved by insurance which seems to be more of a trial since it isn’t used in treating lung cancer. I saw my oncologist about the scans already and they weren’t good but he only told me what he was able to read and it wasn’t good so when I saw the report I can tell everything else wasn’t good either.
Im glad to see your hanging in there with your trial and I really hope it does good for you. Hang in there! 

Does anyone look at their scans or just read the findings and try to understand it? I just read mine and found out that everything is just worse 😔. I really hope this targeted therapy does the trick. Reading these things got me really worried about my health..
