Just to give you a hope, I too was diagnose with stage 4 NSCLC. I was given 12 months to live last year past month. After 4 treatments of Chemos, a combo of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin, I'm clear of tumors. I had a brochoscopy done last week and found things to be very normal. Even though it's clear of cancer, i was not declared cured. :( I'm currently on 150mg Tarceva to prevent the recurrence of tumor. Wish you and your family well!

I'm into my 10th month since diagnosis..

I'm a 42 year old male suffering stage 4 NSCLC that is metastasized and spread to my bones. (spine, ribs, hips - torso in general). I too was a 5 day a week gym junkie that has never smoked.

They are both in the Boston area and have (unfortunately) been "doing' the lung cancer thing for a while. I am also a stage 4 in remission--I was diagnosed while living in Wellesley, MA but then moved out to Seattle with my family for the end of my life which was 8 years ago! Good Luck!!
