That is a lot of treatment for for such disappointing results. Targeted drugs are giving good results to a lot of people. It will depend on what your new doctors think after you move. When I changed cancer centers, there was a big difference in how the docs saw my case. I also got a new doc recently as my old doc moved away. Her opinion is different too. So far I am stable and we have a plan going forward.

I understand your frustration and concern about the effectiveness and costs of treatments. When chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy do not yield the desired results, there are still options to consider:

1. **Clinical Trials**: Exploring clinical trials can provide access to new treatments that are not yet widely available. These trials are designed to test the effectiveness of innovative therapies and could offer a promising alternative.

2. **Targeted Therapy**: For certain types of lung cancer, targeted therapies can be effective. These treatments target specific genes or proteins in cancer cells. The suitability of targeted therapy depends on the genetic mutations present in the cancer cells.

3. **Palliative Care**: Focusing on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, palliative care can be integrated at any stage of treatment. It's not just end-of-life care but supports patients throughout their treatment journey.

4. **Second Opinion**: Consulting another oncologist can provide a fresh perspective on your treatment plan and may suggest alternative approaches.

It's crucial to have open discussions with your healthcare team about your treatment options, including the benefits, risks, and financial implications. They can guide you through the decision-making process, considering your personal preferences and the specifics of your condition.
