Thanks Lou, haven’t been on here for awhile. My last ct scan showed a nodule in left lung that has increased in size, from 4-8, waiting until September for a recheck.  But three days later I also tested positive for Covid, so hoping that could be the reason. I’m staying positive, meditating a lot. Trying to keep stress down. I’ve done manual lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, and now high dose vitamin c. I’m already a vegan, so not too much to change in my diet. Also doing wheat grass shots daily. Let’s just say I’m not leaving any stone unturned.

Tammy,
Welcome to our forums and sorry you need to be here.  As Rilke said there are new treatments coming online all the time so please remember to stay optimistic about that.  You'll also be hearing from others with similar diagnosis who are still here among us years later.  The road was not easy, but they made it.  Last bit of advice; "stay away from Dr. Google" regarding prognosis data...there are a number of reasons that many of the prognosis data predictions are not accurate as they are done based on 5-year averages and don't into account weighted calculation for the many advances made in just the past few years.  So please relax and list to others' stories.  You can even look up a few on the "Share Your Lung Cancer Stories".  It can be found here.
I look forward to more chats in the morning.

Hi everyone…. My name is tammy and I have been diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell cancer. I have gone thru chemo and had surgery to remove a portion of my lung. It was at that point they found it to be in some of my lymph nodes. I am have radiation on a bone lesion on Wednesday and will be finding out what steps are next. Was pretty optimistic before finding out about lymph nodes. I need to get m survival attitude back. Any advise?

Hi everyone 
So i had the gamma knife radiosurgery done yesterday apparently they had both nearly doubled in size so I'm pleased it was done sooner rather than later, I'm not sure how it all works I hope they just disappear or atleast shrink or die, the Dr's reduced my dexamethasone last week and I've started to have real weakness in my right hand side they have upped them again now but it's still the same I'm hoping it will get better soon, unfortunately I've also tested positive for covid today and have to have an antivirus infusion done tomorrow to help with the symptoms all the best to everyone
