Hi.
Dx'd with non small cell lung cancer 10/20. Almost to the 5 year clean mark. But had a hiccup. Found a tumor pushing on the brain and had to have it surgically removed. Came out of that okay, but still a smaller tumor close to the cerabellum they could not do surgically.
I was to do followup radiation but they found I was a good canidate for an oral medication, Entrectinib.
Drug makes me 'wobbly', tired, and has destroyed the taste of food. And yesterday I had an endoscopy because something is messed up in my throat and gives a slight challenge while trying to drink my daily dose of 64 oz of water.
I was doing quite well until this surgery. I'm normally up, but this one took my breath away.
Enough pitty party for now. Hope a better day for you all.
Hi
, It didn't sound like a pity party to me. It sounds like someone who has done everything they needed to do and had a setback that they are handling with great grace. I hope there is good news from the endoscopy.

Scope found no problems.
Do not know yet how I am responding to it. Might be a few weeks yet before I get a scan.
...Craig, you're most welcome and (((hugs))). I'm glad the scope found no problems. Please let us know how the scan goes when you get the results. I'm keeping you lifted and will continue sending love and light. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
