EGFR

Discussion Topic
General Lung/Thoracic Cancer

<p>I was dx&#39;d with Bronchioavelor Carcinomna (BAC) in Sept 2011. I tested postive for EGFR and was placed on Tarceva and I have been on it for almost ten years&nbsp; and have remained pretty much stable. I&nbsp;recently had a pet scan and it did show&nbsp;I&nbsp;&nbsp;have a hpermetabolic airspace disease a with an SUV of 5.7 and my oncologist belives I have hit the Tarveca resistance wall and wants to put me on Tagrisso (which I am fine with).

Are We Too Late?

Discussion Topic
Locally Advanced NSCLC

My 57-year old brother was finally diagnosed Friday with Invasive Mucinous Adenocarcinoma after being misdiagnosed with pneumonia since June 2020. It started with consolidation in the lower right lobe, but now his right lung is fully compromised and it has spread to his left lung. So he's had the cancer untreated now for almost a year and it's so widespread. Are we too late? The thoracic surgeon who did the wedge resection removed three tumors for testing and says he won't refer to a cancer hospital until he gets the results in a few weeks.
