I’ve had a number of trials, mainly focusing on my right lung. However after a CT Scan then a Liver MRI which showed the cancer had spread to the liver. What then is the best treatment Chemotherapy ie Carboplatin or trial with immunotherapy? What folks experiencing?

Hi, like you mine spread from left lung to my liver. Treatment for me was chemo and then immunotherapy. I found this to be good and carried out in my own home for convenience as treatment only takes a short period to administer. However after 12 months the hospital has said its not doing its job as it should be and have put me back on chemo. The fight goes on !
