In Treatment

Dear Doctors, could you please help me with the right treatment for newly detected mutation by blood biopsy. This is MET , exon 16, H1112R mutation in combination with my existing one which is exon 21, l858r. It has been reported that those two mutations exist in equal amounts.

Since my mom already had whole brain radiation two years ago, it is not an option. Cyberknife is also not an option for LMD either.
