    Worked in oncology for 19 years and I've said the exact things to patients. I had a patient who could barely walk or talk with egfr+ lung ca to the brain. He was able to get married, return to work, and was alive 5 years later and I retired.

    You are truly lucky to be able to take the pills. I unfortunately couldn’t. I have stage 4 lung cancer and started treatments. It’s been a constant barrage of the bad side effects. Right now I’m battling with blood clots. It’s so depressing to see others take treatments and life goes on for them but not me. I’m off treatments right now so my body can recover and then I can start up again. I’m living one day at a time for now… blessings to all

    I was diagnosed with stage four Lung cancer in 2017. 2016 I had drop foot and had a low back surgery that did nothing for it. So with surgery you have to have a MRI, Cat scan and then a chest X-ray. So then I had terrible arm pain 5 months later. Another MRI and Cat scan. Doctor decided I needed a neck surgery. So another chest X-ray. This was December 2016. My pain did not go away. Steady got worse. I had high blood pressure from the pain. I couldn’t think my arm hurt so bad. So the doctor wanted another cat scan. I decided to go to a different facility for this one. That afternoon they called and said I need to go see my General Practitioner. They had sent the results to him. I never heard from the doctors office that ordered the scan and had done the neck surgery to this day.
    So he told me I had cancer and not to do any crazy cures he said to do what my oncologist recommends. So I found an Oncologist that is well known and liked. So I saw him in June of 2017. I asked him how long did I have Lung cancer. He said over a year. And none of the people reading my scans caught it. Really makes you wonder about our health care.
    Anyway I did a round of Chemo. Did nothing for me. In February 2018 I started Immunotherapy with the drug Keytruda I did almost three years of infusions every three weeks. I am currently showing no sign of disease for over two years at least. I get mixed up on times. I credit God and him giving humans the intelligence to produce the medicines that cured me. And I thank my doctor and all the nurses who have taken care of me. They have all been wonderful.
    I hope you have the same outcome and as I have had.
    Ask about immunotherapy. It is a life saver.

    I have terminal heart issues. I have had open heart surgery twice, and cannot have more. I have two pig valves that were installed in 2020; they have a max 10 year life span. When they run out, I run out. But because my condition doesn’t have the name ‘cancer’, I don’t get the kind of attention and love you describe. I never hear from anyone, including my family who knows all about my condition. I’m not sure how we bring attention to heart disease like cancer has. But cancer is not the only disease that gives you a new view of life; I am grateful for every day. I wish you all the best and a long life.

    You certainly moved me. I had stage 3 lung cancer. Had a r upper lobectomy 1 year 3 months ago. Had chemo and now keytruda. Previously had breast cancer in 2015. Did a double mastectomy no chemo. This lung cancer was not the same cancer. I too felt like I was being punished. I never told any of my friends that I was fighting lung cancer, I didn’t want that sad look so I have journeyed by myself except husband, kids, and sister. And extreme exhaustion as well.l as anemia has taken its toll.

    I am also a Stage IV NSCLC warrior, non smoker. I had zero symptoms, that I knew of anyway as I have had lupus for many years so I am very use to not feeling 100%. I had no cough or shortness of breath, I work full time, hike pretty much every weekend and surf. One year ago, pretty much to this week, I developed a bad cough and sore back but I was just getting over Covid. Within one week, I was having a hard time walking from my bedroom to my couch. My husband was away on business and I just kept saying, “I’ll be fine, it’s just another lupus flare”. He got home and I was literally green laying on my couch and off to the ER we went. My hemoglobin was down to 3.5 and I needed 3 blood transfusions. After CT scans I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I am doing 2 IV chemotherapy drugs along with immunotherapy every 3 weeks. I am going in for my 11th treatment on Friday. After my 6th treatment my scans showed the tumor is down by 30%. Other than fatigue I have very few symptoms, the worse thing for me is the hair loss. Im continuing to work, although I’ve needed to take days off just to sleep. Hope you are doing well.

      Maybe because their moms don’t cook from scratch, maybe because they use lots of medications from young age, maybe because they use lots of drugs, maybe because they are always indoors and not allowed to make noise and be young in their dead beat neighborhoods. Maybe because they are depressed and lonely. Maybe they don’t laugh enough and make love, maybe technology radiates something unhealthy … Maybe none of the above and it’s just an evolutionary process.

    Ashley you and your loved ones are in my prayers. I pray all works out for you as you are so young and so vital. I was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer in October of last year. My case is a lot different as I am a 73 year old woman with other health issues. I had a great doctor that told me the facts and didn't try to talk me into treatment. I had only 1 option for treatment and it was a clinical trial I might qualify for. The doctor told me that could possibly buy me a year to a year and a half. Since the outcome was like that I decided not to do any treatment and live out my time being with my family and living my life to the fullest extent possible. My only concern was that my son would understand why I chose not to have treatment. Thankfully he understood perfectly and is now with me every step of the way. God bless and keep you and yours in the best of spirits and keep your faith strong.

Radiation was not as bad for me. I love hearing stories like yours. Stories of hope and wins. I also hope and pray my scans come with God's speed!

      Sweet Ashley, never forget about fenbendazolel and ivermectin, sounds strange, because both are very effective dog and horse dewormers, but they now found out that they annihilate cancer, no doubt!
      Look at Joe Tippins's testimony on UA-cam.
      Anyway, the most important thing is that you repent before God and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and then live for Him!
      Too many people are missing heaven and ending up in the fires of hell, and it's not a joke or a myth, and sadly, most people don't think about death until after their last breath has left their lungs and they open their eyes from a burning hell , it's sad!
