Hello everyone!!

Diagnosed with metastatic SCC of lungs.

oncologist advised for Chemo 6 cycles and informed me about poor prognosis.

Not able to decide whether should i go for Chemo again or should i leave it as it is.I googled for metastatic SCC of lungs it shows very poo prognosis with life expectancy of 6 to 12 months..

Depressed & Confused!!

Im so very sorry!!! The newer immunotherapy chemos of Keytruda or Opdivpo have worked very well for some patients. It may be worth trying them. Best wishes with everything!!!
