Lung Cancer. Your thoughts please.

I'm afraid I'm not very well informed at the moment. I'm still in "trust the oncologist " mode.
I had the impression that Keytruda was a Stage 4 treatment.
The GemCarb chemo is a deceptive critter. Folfox is in your face from Day 1.Gemcarb lulls you into a false sense of security, up to the point when you realize that your Haemoglobin level is 71g/l ( a bit more than half the minimum normal). It leaves you very tired and breathless . Not a chemo for an 86 year old.
I see my oncologist on Wednesday ( I had a PET scan last Friday). It's getting interesting now and I expect to be more of a participant in the decision making.

Thankyou and good luck.

If this is of any use, I have settled on Lungevity as my NSCLC forum.
