...with lung cancer who lived long lives, one who became a centagenarian.

Depending on the cell type, there are now excellent treatments for NSCLC, notably the checkpoint inhibitors, notably Kertruda.

Your oncologist will be up on these latest and greatest tools.

Over the years you have had much to do with the pleasure of coming to DU. We all wish you a positive outcome my dear Peg.

Be well.
