Ontmark, lung cancer treatment has advanced in leaps and bounds in the past few years. I have a good friend with metastatic lung cancer who should not be alive, but his genetics were right for an immunotherapeutic drug called Tagrisso. He is feeling and looking 100% and this could go on indefinitely.
Immunotherapy is the way to go if your genetics are right for it.
Sounds like you are in good hands.
Remember COBRA is good for I think 18 months?

Fight the good fight my friend. I lost my wife to Non-small cell lung cancer last year. She was at stage IV when they caught it, so there wasn't much they could do but make her comfortable.

KEEP FIGHTING!

Ubdate:

Well went Wednesday for infusion. They did blood work first. Then a visit with the Doctor.

He looked at the blood work results and listened to my lungs. I told him I have one more day on Levaquin and started the 30 Mg prednisone taper that day. He put infusion off for a week. I asked him why. He said he wanted lungs to clear up some more and blood work look good. So I will be back there this coming Wednesday.

This the Cancer Center I am going to. My doctor is MD. Sirott. He is one of the owners of the center also.

A big thanks for the prayers and sharing info of others with good results on Opdivo.

^^^^^^^^^^^
Putting off an infusion is pretty common. That is why they do the bloodwork first. It will not affect the overall outcome. The oncologist wants to be sure your body can handle the infusion.

Update #3

Well been off work since June 22. I’m on Oxygen 24/7. Went to my Pulmonologist today. Lung X-Ray shows infection and Pneumonia almost gone. Oxygen numbers still low hitting 86 while walking. Pulmonologist is releasing me back to work on Monday July 27 if work will take me to only do sedimentary work and be on Oxygen at that time. So we will see if work will allow it. I am a truck mechanic with one other new mechanic they hired in January for the company knows I am retiring next year June. Pulmonologist said the lungs will gradually continue to heal from the Pneumonia and should be off of Oxygen in one to two months.

Well I was hoping for one more month off of work but was real happy to hear that my health is improving and I could go back to work with conditions. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. I have another infusion treatment this Wednesday.


Thanks
Roy

My prayers are with you as well.
Hope you continue to get healthier.
My wife recently(spring) had pneumonia.
She just took a liquid called Pleurisy root by PURE HERBS, purchased at Heaven and Herbs, online.
Worked great. Normally she has had to take breathing treatments.

I’m glad for the good news. We’re all pulling for you.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
