Claudia Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hi Everyone! I'm sorry it's been a long time since I posted an update to my stage IV NSCLC story but here it is. After being told that I was non-surgical because of being stage IV I am here to tell you that my oncologist and I have decided that the end of November will be my last treatment. After 3 1/2 years of chemo, Keytruda, SBRT radiation and finally a left upper lobectomy and 2 years of clean scans and more Keytruda I am being set free. November 4 will be 2 years that I am NED. I can't believe it. Stage IV and now NED for 2 years. I feel like the luckiest person on the planet. It just goes to show that treatments are getting better and patients are living longer. Never give up. NEVER. Thanks for all the support through this insane journey. I love you all.

I’m happy for you too. It’s my hope for everyone. I would like to thank everyone who wished me well on this post. I must admit I’m nervous about being off Keytruda and having no treatment at all. I worry about it coming back. I’m trying to stay positive as I have been through all this but…. Tom Galli and LouT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
