Hi @sanyogita15, it sounds like you’ve done remarkably well after surgery. A cough and some pain is expected, your body has been through a lot and will need some time to heal.
Being so young and low-risk for lung cancer, you may have a gene mutation. I’ll be interested to hear the results of the testing. There are many of us here that have one of those types of lung cancer (EGFR, ALK, RET, etc.). While no one deserves cancer, there is likely nothing that you did to cause this, and it may not even be genetic from your mother. Sometimes biology makes mistakes and our immune systems just aren’t able to fix us. I’m sorry that you are facing this, there are many of us that understand what you are going through.

Thanks a lot for your kind n reassuring words. I will let you know once my lung panel test results come in.

My best wishes to all people here.

Hi my NGS lung panel repirt has come n its EGFR L858R. I have meet doc next week for chemo n other treatment update. He had suggested 4 cycles chemo first...but i took a second opinion n that doc said chemo not needed. I will now take one more opinion as both docs have different opinions. The doc who advised chemo said we give chemo to stage more than 1.
