EGFR mutation - p.747_P753delinsS(exon19) - current treatment Osimertinib (Tagrisso)

Is there anyone else that has this same specific rare cancer gene mutation? This is the first identified mutation for my Non-small cell adenocarcinoma lung cancer.  I would be interested in any treatments or other experiences you are having.  My current treatment is Tagrisso at 80 mg.  After 8 weeks of treatment I had a 60% reduction in the malignant mass in my right lung.  No notable change in pleural lining mass.  Thanks
