      I'm just off a successful VATS Lobectomy to remove a 2.5 cm lesion from my left lung.

      Scan 5 months ago showed that lesion and nothing else, so I'm NED as far as that goes now.

      Heading to Cancer Center today for post-surgery follow up.  I know that now that I'm stage iv that more treatment options are available.  Have any folks done anything adjuvant when they're ned at stage iv, or do treatments like ipi etc only become reactionary?
