133. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago
Mon Oct 6, 2025, 08:35 PM
4 hrs ago

Had to remove a lobe of the lung and did a year of immunotherapy infusions (atezolizumab) that was pricey, but Medicare covered it. Cancer free now.

Listen to the oncologists and make informed decisions. Things are not dire.

Good thoughts to you.
