Hello, I'm just starting to learn how to use this site and am looking forward to getting information and encouragement from this internet community. I am eighty years young and am in general good health. My only symptoms of lung cancer is a mucousy cough especially in the morning. I have been recently dx with stage IV adenocarcinoma since I have a moderate sized tumor in my left lung and several small spots in my left and right lungs. So far the cancer is contained to just my lungs. I am getting some second and third opinions in the next 2 weeks and need to decide whether I should take chemo or not. My MD says chemo is my only option and that there's only a 35% chance that my tumor would even respond to the chemo. Since I have such a good quality of life now, I do not know what I should do. Looking forward to seeing if any of you have any ideas, suggestions, or opinions concerning whether I should take chemo or not.
Jick
