Kinda strange that my diagnosis, albeit with another cancer, was preceded in part by leg pains as well.

@jeanroth159 9 дней назад

So glad to hear you’re doing well. I’m also battling NSCLC stage IV and you’re right, I am not looking at this as a death sentence at all. I’m on Carboplatin, Taxol and Key Truda. I just had my 15th session this past Friday. I’m doing well, although I’m feeling a little crappy right now but getting through.

I think it’s important for patients to know that not everyone is able to tolerate immunotherapy like Keytruda. Sometimes their bodies can’t tolerate it and it unfortunately no longer is an option for treatment.

@annespellberg7173 9 дней назад

Wow Lenny. That is so great that you are doing so well. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. You are amazing that you took the most terrible experience and now help those going through it. You are really inspiring. Best wishes to you and your family, and wishing you continued great health!!

I'm so glad you're doing well. My father died from lung cancer 41 years ago - all they could do for him back then was to remove his entire lung. I'm so happy the treatment for lung cancer has moved on so much since then!

That sounds so scary even though they said there was a 95% success rate with the gamma knife. My brother used tecentriq and chemo and radiation for small cell in his duodenum. He’s still alive but it was a battle like yours was.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in January 2024, 11cm tumour in my left lung NSCLC, LDP1 score was only 10, following 4 sessions of chemotherapy and keytruda the tumour has more or less disappeared….i am now on keytruda every 3 weeks (200mg) for 18 months, having arthritis side effects induced by the immunotherapy at the moment…..it’s a small price to pay!!

@deirdrekiely6187 9 дней назад

OMG that is heartbreaking. What kind of cancer? Did she have any symptoms?

My mum has been diagnosed with left lower lobe lung cancer. She too has a tumor in her brain so I been doing some research and found more people diagnosed with lung cancer has a tumor either in the brain. Also, found out that there is second tumor. The tumor is easier to see in an xray especially if you have breathing issues you are more likely to get a test and the results are good or bad. Think the cancer starts in another part of the body that is not detected. Such as back pain, leg pain, and any pain that is unexplained and usually is diagnosed by symptoms only without any tests done. Remember you are your best advocate. You know how you feel and never give up on receiving the proper medical treatment you deserve. Thank you for sharing your story. God Bless

cancer is a funny thing....everyone is different and I am in shock my daughter's dad is still living where as my dad did not catch a break.

@kathleenmcbride1471 12 часов назад

You are lucky. I have no biomarkers including zero PD-L1. I had chemo and rads concurrently (large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer 3B - never smoker but rads for previous breast cancer to right side probably caused the lung cancer to same side). Anyway there is nothing else to be done now except scans every 3 months to monitor for new spread. Living life as best I can - yes, enjoying each day as it comes and grateful to be doing "ok" today. I try to only think about today and be happy for the little things I can still do. Best wishes for continued good scans!

I was diagnosed with lung cancer in my upper right lobe in December 2022 and had right upper lobe removed. Did my chemo and hen the KEYTRUDA. Had reaction 2 months ago liver. And kidneys, but after steroids ND A 1 month time, went back on the keytruda , looking to stay on it one more year. Side effect! Unbelievable mouth ulcers and gum recession as well as enamel wearing off my teeth. Bleeding, I am really trying to stick with it since my scans are clear.

I have bad leg pain from my knee to my ankle. And I didn’t injure it.

@pennyk1943 День назад

@stanhankins. Hi Sir. I had pain just like you without any injury and I used to blame that it could be coming from my hip bursitis. So there were times I would wear “ a boot” to keep weight of my leg. Well one day the pain was so severe 9 out of 10 and progressing. When I saw my doctor he took an X-ray of my knee , he thought maybe there’s some liquid accumulated, also a vein in the inner calf had all of sudden gotten very dark and was extending. Went for an ultrasound to see if I have DVT ( deep vein thrombosis). Well I didn’t have DVT but I had a superficial blood clot. The pain was still extreme. He put me on a baby aspirin but then increased to four baby aspirins for three months and then he’ll check my situation. After ten days the pain is like a two. So my point is all this time I thought it was my knee but it was a blood clot 🤦‍♀️😞

This channel and your expository teachings has been my major drive, and that's why with $32,000 weekly returns I was able to live my life-long dreams of sending 50% of my weekly interest to the sick old ones in my neighborhood.
