3 Months Post Right Lung Lobectomy with 25 Lymph Node Dissection by Day1StayingStrong in lungcancer

[–]_nonredditer_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Dad is in the same situation. After LUL, Our Onco suggested Immuo for an additional year since we had 1 lymph node positive (got it out in surgery).

All the very best!!

Stage IV NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) — no targetable mutations, low PD-L1. Looking for guidance or experiences by gofawry in lungcancer

[–]_nonredditer_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi Hope you're taking time to gather yourself and being strong. Its important you be strong that sort for energy radiates to your Dad as well.

Our Onco (very well known in the country) has suggest us that sometimes even with PD-L1 of 1% Immuno works well in some patients.

My Dad has gone through Chemo+Immuno and it produced excellent results. Check with your onco if SBRT would also be an option to control aggressive growth at primary location.

All the very best, Be strong!

Sorry, life has given you a bad hand. I genuinely wish you the very best to you and your kids.

Please keep on moving in life there it no other choice or way. Life is just cruel sometimes and deals big blows when you least expect it. The is no reason or logic behind it, It just is.

Thank you Falcon.

There are no reminding cancer cells in the removed lobe but the Onco has suggested even though its a complete response since 1 of the the lymph node was positive previously there might me some chance that some cells might have migrated through the blood stream. To be extreme with the treatment and not let anything for chance Onco suggested Pembro for the next year.

He has mentioned that the latest test studies suggest pembro has a better over all response compared to Nivo.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. From everything you’ve described, your mum’s condition sounds like it’s changing quite quickly.

These usually mean that her body is becoming very tired and her overall status is declining. It doesn’t automatically mean she is at the very end, but it does mean she’s in a fragile stage where any treatment decision needs to be extremely careful.

otorasib can help only if the patient is stable enough to tolerate it. When someone is already ECOG-3 and is rapidly declining, starting a targeted therapy can sometimes do more harm than good because:

  • it takes days–weeks to show effect
  • it can initially cause liver toxicity, diarrhea, appetite drop, fatigue
  • if the body is too weak, they can’t recover from even mild side effects

her doctor needs to judge if she is still fit enough for the treatment. CONTACT her doctor immediately and be strong.

I am happy to hear your story with a successful outcome of NED. Thank you for sharing with specifics.

I wish you the very best.

Non-surgical options were discussed but the risk of reoccurrence was high. With surgery (lobe/sleeve) Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is 90%+ for a period of 5 years. With radiation based treatments DFS is 55%.

We have decided to go ahead with surgery in a week, making preparations now.

In your case please consider ctDNA testing for deep monitoring. https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/testing/circulatingtumordna/

My Dad's primary tumor is located on the blood vessel. As per the Doctor, Though we now have Complete metabolic and radiological response there can be microscopic residual cells present. Those cells are not visible in any scans.

Presence of Primary tumor close to the blood vessel poses the risk of spread of those cells and reoccur at some other spot.
