babybragg Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I was diagnosed of lung cancer that metastasized to my liver about a seven weeks ago. I guess I'm still in a daze when I think about it since I never smoked nor was I a heavy drinker. I didn't live with anyone that smoked. Just having a hard time accepting it.

LexieCat Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, baby, Well, the only requirement for getting lung cancer is lungs. I'm sorry about your diagnosis--it's always a shock, even when you're a smoker. What kind of treatment do you have planned (or are maybe already in)? Welcome, glad you found us! This is a great place for support and information. PaulaC and Tom Galli 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hello babybragg. I want to welcome you also. Like LexieCat I want to ask if a plan of care is has been made and is it started. That is so important. Was genetic testing done ? Please keep us posted . We have been through this too and know how difficult it is.

babybragg Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I've had two chemo treatments so far. I've been lucky so far and have had only one bad day after treatment. My CT scan is scheduled for the 26th to see if the mass has shrunk at all and if not, then I'll probably do immunotherapy.

Roz Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi Babybragg, I sure hope the chemo shrinks your mass. What type of cancer did they say you have? Which immunotherapy drug are they considering for you? I have stage IV NSCLC...I've had two surgeries and chemo. When diagnosed, I was also shocked. I didn't have any of the risk factors either so they say it's just bad luck. If you have any questions, please ask! Best, Ro Tom Galli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexieCat Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Glad to hear you're already getting treatment. We have quite a few long-term survivors with advanced lung cancer, so there's a lot to be hopeful about. Stick around, keep us posted. We're here to help and support you (and maybe, on occasion, amuse you). LaurenH and Tom Galli 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
