6 Facts You Should Know About Clinical Trials for Lung Cancer Read Article...
A MyLungCancerTeam Member

Hello Mary,
Have you already had any treatment at all?
Do you know the type of NSCLC you have, as well as any biomarkers or genetic mutations you or the cancer have?

I'm approaching the 2 year mark of treatment with Keytruda immunotherapy, after having chemo. So, if there is any progression, I may be looking at a trial myself. I was Dx with Stage IV SCC type NSCLC 2 years ago this week. I was Dx with Stage IV SCC Throat Cancer 4 years ago this week as well. I'm doing really well.

Stay positive!
Tony
