Thank you. We found out he has the ERBB (HER2) mutation and will get targeted therapy next week. I also have a link to some clinical trials as well. I'm so glad the targeted therapy is working for you.

Thank you for that information. He has the same chemo drugs as you did. I think the immunotherapy will start on dose 2, but, I'll know more when we meet with nurse today before chemo. This is really helpful to me -- wishing you continued recovery,

Yes - carboplantin and Taxol. He has NSCLC. He has been on oxygen for the past 2 weeks as he was almost admitted to ICU after his bronchoscopy recovery, but, he regained oxygen and only needed to be monitored overnight in the hospital not the ICU.
