Just signed up, thought it would be good to share what I've been thru since December 2014. Found a mass in my right lung and a tumor on my brain. Had surgery to remove tumor, then started chemo and radiation. Just laid on couch. They finally took me off chemo and put me on Opdevo. Big difference. Now I have energy and appetite and want to do stuff.

Toad1965 glad you have some energy, I was diagnosed 3 months ago with lung cancer, I imagine it's a game changer for all of us. It's a day by day learning process. Keep the faith!

No matter what the treatments do to you it will get better. I had no energy, no desire to do anything and it hurt to eat. Now with the help of new medicine and faith I feel much better. Prayers for you.
