Stage 4 Lung Cancer with Metastasized Brain Cancer

In the past few months this problem keeps getting worse; stumbling; shaking in left leg to the point I cannot walk I am anxious and afraid all of time. I have fallen so much my body looks like a professional fighter had a beef with me. I think today it is finally hitting home that this is going to kill me. I don't like this one bit. I feel cheated. I have a 2 year old granddaughter and grandson on the way. I was diagnosed December 2,1022. I had a round of radiation and two gamma knife procedures. I am also on Immunotherapy. I have test, scans. my dr is not very frorthgiving I leave my appointments knowing less than when I go in. My next treatment I meet my new Dr. hoping he's a keeper. Well, thank you for reading my saga.

  1. I hate you are going thru this. Praying your new doctor will be more forthcoming with information.

    1. Hi , I'm echoing what said... I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's absolutely understandable to feel anxious, afraid, and deeply cheated when your body is struggling so much, especially with your precious granddaughter and new grandson on the way. That's an incredibly heavy burden to carry. Know that I am thinking of you during this challenging time.

      It's so frustrating that your doctor hasn't been more helpful. I hope your new doctor gives you the support you deserve.

      Thank you for sharing your story. What you're experiencing is a lot to handle, and your feelings are completely valid. You are not alone.

      1. Hi , sending (((hugs))), love and light. I hate hearing that doctors are treating patients like this. No one wants to feel on uncertain ground. I hope the new doctor is 180 degrees different, collaborative and willing to share information. Please let us know how it goes. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
