Diagnosed with NSCLC

Age 47, diagnosed with Stage IV NSCLC Squamous on my birthday, December 2018. Started immediately on Keytruda because I have a PDL1 of 100%.

Started getting a lot of bone mets... broke my femur and had rod inserted. Met in foot and had hairline fracture. Met in spine, skull and shoulder.

Changing treatment

It was decided Keytruda was not working and I found out that I had MET mutation. I was then switched to Xalkori and the only tumors left are the one in my lung and the one on my adrenal gland. I'm planning on having SBRT to the lung and ablation on the adrenal gland.

My issue is severe depression and anxiety (I'm on meds for both).
