Hello,

Is anyone else experiencing hoarseness in their voices and changes in body weight during lung cancer remission? I had a persistent cough that has always accompanied me but these new changes are quite a surprise to me. I havent changed my diet that much and go for my regular checkups, but my doctor says these kind of things are normal. I am preparing to take sotorasib, a new type of medication that is supposed to help. Hope it will help.

Hi @cancerdepulmon

How are you today?

Let me ask some of the other Carenity members about their experiences with lung cancer remission.

Has your weight fluctuated? Have you noticed a persistent cough or voice hoarseness that later changed? Have you taken sotorasib?

Let's @cancerdepulmon know what you experienced!

Take care,

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
