Mike Ross Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hi. My name is Mike, I just turned 58 and was recently diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer that has metastasized to the lymph nodes and adrenal glands. I would like to post a question on the Chemotherapy Forum but I believe I should introduce myself - so Hello!

Mike Ross Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Justin - Than you. This has been a nightmare since I live alone and am having truly frightening side effects. But all the best to you and may I add I've visited the UK and enjoyed every moment. I think I could live quite nicely in the Scottish Highlands!

Judy M2 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hi, Mike and welcome from a former New Yorker (Rockland County). Sorry you have to be with us. I've had chemo and radiation before starting on a targeted therapy for my particular gene mutation. I'll look for your question under Chemotherapy.

RJN Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Welcome, Mike. Sorry that you have to be here, but it is a really good forum. I too have NSCLC with spread to lymph nodes amd adrenal gland. I’ve been treated with Keytruda and a long course of radiation since August last year, and am doing pretty well. Hope your treatment is working well. catlady91, Justin1970 and Tom Galli 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_L Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hi Mike, and welcome aboard. I’m a former NYer, too. Not gonna lie, it’s very scary to get started on this journey. But, this is a great place for support and learning about lung cancer. There’s so much new research happening in the field right now. Hang in. catlady91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
