Hi I’m a 35 year old female, non smoker diagnosed with NSCLC in May. I was pregnant when I was diagnosed and so it was based off an MRI which found a mass in my right lung and swollen lymph nodes. During pregnancy my only treatment option was taxol and carboplatin. I was allergic to the taxol and so we decided to wait until I delivered a few weeks later to do treatment after a ct and pet were done. After the scans they also found a spot on my hip and some nodules in my left lung and that classified me as stage lv. I just finished 4 rounds of cisplatin, pemetrexed, and keytruda done every 3 weeks. My scans after round two showed stability and even decreases. My scans now after round 4 shows increases as well as a few more spots on my hip. My doctor is looking for a clinical trial that might match one of the mutations I have before we have another regimen. I am currently being treated at MSK in NJ but this week while we are on a break from treatment we have decided to get second opinions from jersey shore and UPENN.
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this regimen of chemo not working or any other types of chemo not working and what they did after it. I have read one story on here that was been truly inspiring. Any help, insight, or advice is greatly appreciated.
