I was diagnosed with stage 4 NSCLC in 2010. I am beginning my sixth year next month!  I have had traditional chemo therapy and gene targeted therapies. I am currently on Tagrisso and I am stable. I worked full time up until December when I retired. My health is my full time job now!

I am always encouraged to hear other people's success stories. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

Thank you for for encouraging post.  I am stage 3, VATS surgery on both left lobes in 2013, no lymph node involvement.  Opted not to do chemo.  Was clear until a very small recurrence last year and had stereotactic radiation.  So far, all is good.  Every post from a long time survivor gives me hope that I will be one too, so keep posting!

Sounds like you are doing great. I'm only a couple years out. Very encouraged. Thanks!

Congratulations on how well you're doing! I have the same diagnosis and am currently on tagrisso, my diagnosis was October 2013. Any suggestions to avoid feeling helpless? I am unable to work since my diagnosis, days are long but I won't give up!
