Claudia Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi Everyone! First let me apologize for not being more active on the forums. Life gets in the way sometimes. So, as some of you may know, I was diagnosed in 2019 with stage IV Squamous cell nsclc. I was told I was not a candidate for surgery and would have to learn to live with treatments and infusions for the rest of my life. I was scared and depressed. Well after chemotherapy, immunotherapy(which I am still on), radiation and an upper left lobectomy my fantastic and brilliant oncologist told me “you are in remission girl”. I’ve had 2 NED scans and I’M IN REMISSION!!! Remission is a word I never thought I would hear. Never give up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rower Michelle Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi Claudia, I'm so thrilled for you! I remember when you were considering surgery, the goal was NED and now you have confirmation it was the right decision. It was a gutsy move as surgery isn't the standard of care right now with Stage IV disease, so this is trailblazing news. Thank you for having the courage to push forward. Namaste!

BridgetO Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Wonderful, Claudia! You are a great example of self-advocacy and an inspiration for others, especially ones who have Stage 4 cancers that are "inoperable". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
