Just wanted to say it’s been 9 yrs since I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, I’ve had chemotherapy twice, radiotherapy to lymph glands to chest wall and received immunotherapy for 2 yrs, now it’s been watch and wait since April 2018, scans every 3 moths and they have shown stable, due nxt scan in March, I’m being looked after by a fantastic team at Christie’s in Manchester

This is brilliant and gives hope to others as well. Hope your March scan also brings good news and long may you remain stable. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Fantastic. Hope this continues for many more years. I’m doing the same watch and wait, with scans every 3 months. Diagnosed stage 4 nsclc 7 years ago in March. Immunotherapy finished a year ago.x

Hi. Brilliant news. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer too, 4 years ago and has also has 2 rounds of chemo, and 1 year's immunotherapy. He's been stable for 2 years now. Next check-up/scan end of this month. Amazing progress in treatments at the moment aren't there! You and my husband are 2 of the lucky ones - I know immuno doesn't work for everyone who can have it! He's being treated at Worcester Royal and despite their bad A&E reputation, the cancer care he's received has been brilliant! Keep going strong!

Your story is very inspiring. My husband should be starting combined therapy on Wednesday. He is not sure about going ahead but your story shows how treatment and courage can help so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your good news. Whenever I start to feel very worried I log into this site and someone like yourself lifts my spirits back up. I wish you all the best for the next 9 years.
