Hello Peggy!
"Can you survive this?"
There is a saying, "No body escapes Life alive!"
But, I hope we can live productive lives for many more years. I was officially diagnosed with Stage 4 Squamous Cell NSCLC back in June(?) 2022. After two years of treatments, I'm in remission. I've survived Stage 4 Throat Cancer since 2020.

Here is an excellent informational PDF from the NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network). The Table of Contents has hyperlinks to the chapters. There are lists of questions to ask the doctors for each phase of the battle starting on page 48.

Guidelines PDF for Non-Small Cell LC, Metastatic.

Stay Positive!

When I was diagnosed May 2024 with Stage 4 NSCLC my doctor said we no longer considers this terminal, it's a chronic health condition. My Lung and Liver tumors are stable and we're doing a full body bone MRI next Friday Jan 17th.I have tumors in my ribs that we've known about from the start and some lesions just showed up in my skull. I've got a few interesting issues like fainting so I go see a cardiologist Thursday Jan 16th.The EKG, Echo and Carotid my doctor ordered all looked fine. We just face any problems as they arise.

God bless you Kathy 🙏 ❤️ great attitude 👏
