Tom Galli Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Diana, Welcome here! You've survived quite a lot in 3 years including bone and brain mets. We all wonder how long we can keep going because lung cancer treatment is such a slog. You mentioned you have NSCLC but did not mention if is large cell, adenocarcinoma or squamous cell. I'm wondering because HER/2 mutation is commonly associated with breast cancer and I didn't know that Kadcyla was approved to treat lung cancer. Nevertheless, I do hope your treatment is successful. Stay the course. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there and keep us posted. Let us know how we can support you. Bridget O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
