    Someone in my family has been doing Immunotherapy for awhile now, and it has been working wonders. I hope it does the same for you. :rose:

    Had a meeting with my oncologist earlier and unfortunately, the cancer has metastasized to my lung, maybe to the bone as well.

    As this is all puts me in stage 4, it makes no sense to go with a targeted treatment such as chemo (plus i’m not wasting precious time feeling like shit); same with radiation. Immunotherapy is the way to go without major side effects.

    So that’s that; my head is, surprisingly, in a good place and I aim to keep it that way as long as I can 🙂

    Don't come on this thread much because I dont like sad news and I come to this...

    I have never met you, but I do feel like I know you.    The fentanyl comments made me circle back. I will be around to hear you.
