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).
