My name is Jennifer. In April I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to my brain. I had brain surgery to remove a larger tumor followed by pin point (only radiating the tumors) radiation and chemo. after 2 rounds of chemo, we found out it wasn't helping at all. So I started ktruda which is an immunotherapy treatment. after 2 rounds (6 treatments) we found out it WAS working!!  all was going well my tumors were shrinking I was feeling better and the...BOOM !! 2 new tumors in my brain again. this time we did whole head radiation (the entire head 13 daily treatments was done this time to make sure it was all gotten. the radiation threw me for a loop this time around. I have been exhausted no matter how much I sleep. headaches from brain swelling (which they added Alzheimers meds to help with any memory loss I may experience and put me on steroids to help with the swelling as well- unfortunately, the side effects will show up anytime for the next 4-6 months).i have finished the radiation and am back on the ktruda, my next set of scans will tell if it is working. please pray for me and help any way you can.
