Well it's been a rough last 5 months for me. I had 18 strong chemo treatments given in 6 3 day intervals. I lost my hair and 20 lbs. I have had a lot of pain in my right arm and chest area. Pain pills did nothing. On Dec. 2 I had a Nuclear bone scan and a Cet scan. No cancer in my bones and the cet scan showed that the chemo shrunk my tumors. My doctor said that I can now stop chemo and go into an approve immunotherapy treatment plan. I had my first immunotherapy treatment Feb. 2 and another cet scan a another MIR scan. The cet scan showed more tumor shrinkage and the MIR scan showed no cancer on my brain I have gained 15 lbs. am eating better and sleeping better Each day me and my wife walk length of our house 15 times after breakfast, lunch and dinner. I feel that I may be seeing light at the end of the tunnel as please keep praying for me.:cert:

Sending you good vibes your way. :cert:
Hang in there, Sir. Attitude can mean a big deal here!!
You've got this! That chemotherapy is horrible. You're basically poisoning your whole body, hoping the cancer dies first. I'd expect that you continue to rapidly feel better now that you're done with that.
Now you've got to buckle down and focus on eating right, exercise, positive attitude, and deciding what hair style you're going to go with once the hair grows back.

Smoke some pot and you'll gain all your weight back and I bet it would help with your pain issues.
I wish you luck with continued tumor shrinkage.

Ummm, all things considered, I think edibles is the better choice. :willy:

Weed is good for the pain. Or some type of legal derivative.
Our son got Marianne some CDB laced chocolates when she had bad
after chemo session pains.

Yeah, but you really think SMOKE is a good mix with lung cancer?

Stay strong and bull through it .... and a loving, supportive spouse is your major asset.
Wife and I in our 70's are thankful every day we've haven't had to deal with anything like this when sooo many friends and relatives have had to do so.
