I did not get second opinion either. I felt comfortable with my doc and the team, I didn’t feel the need. I wanted treatment like yesterday Lolol. I have been diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc in December 2019, and kicking butt!
Amy, what a wonderful share. Thank you so much.
Nsclc?
How are you doing now? Sclc is much more aggressive.
@@danishaamin9302 non small cell lung care. I am doing great. Less or More aggressive not sure. But at one point I had less then a month left very sick. Treatment worked amazingly well
@@Amy-li5uv Pray for your speedy recuperation ya! Have faith in yourself and the almighty God! 🙏🤲
My wife diagnosed with SCLC stage 4, March 2023 - I am doing my best to enjoy every day as best we can. She’s 60, they say inoperable, through 6 rounds of chemo and 30 radiation blasts - praying for clear scans in early Sept 2023.
Tqvm for this excellent vid! I have been experiencing few episodes rusty sputum with blood since past few days... Mild chest burning & pain
Danisha, so sorry you're experiencing such terrible symptoms. Glad Dave's story could be helpful.
@@ThePatientStory Tqvm Stephanie, keep it up. What you are doing is phenomenal, has been searching long for this kind of video concepts! Are you in the medical related industry too?
Did you go to the Doctor? If not please do so ASAP !
@@Ruby-60 No, I haven't... Refraining to head to healthcare institution by looking at the current pandemic.
@@danishaamin9302 I know what you’re saying however it’s best to get it checked out. I haven’t seen my doctor in over a year because of the Covid-19, I have to call him to get my inhalers refilled, I have COPD and I have a lot of shortness of breath but the phlegm is clear. Are you still spitting up coloured sputum?
