Remember Chemotherapy likes to follow the laws of physics or Newton - “what goes up must come down”.
Over 90% of Pancan patients have the kras12-D mutation and there are clinical trials out there for it but you will need to the research where they are. Did you take paxlovid when you had covid?

I will never have a disease caused by being vegan, that is for sure!
Interesting side point: It seems KRAS G12C is more associated with smokers and G12D with non-smokers. (I've never smoked.) My G12D was only a 4% allele frequency, which I'm guessing might be why the Guardant blood test didn't pick it up but the Tempus tissue test did. I'm not sure yet if that's as significant as my germline ATM mutation is to treatment options.
Yes, I did take paxlovid with my covid -- curious for many reasons why you ask... 🙂
It did seem to help speed up my recovery. It would have been incompatible with my chemo, and required a few days of clearance before I could get back to the infusions. I was worried it might make me ineligible for a trial I'm hoping to get into, but the trial directors said it was fine.
