Hi @stimey60, I hadn't had a chance to welcome you to Mayo Connect yet, and I'm glad that many members have commented on your post.
There are some types of lung cancer that are caused by mutating genes which are 'targetable' with medications, referred to as targeted therapies. When biopsies are performed the tissue/fluid is usually sent for biomarker testing. That test can identify if there is a gene mutation driving the cancer.
Tagrisso is a targeted therapy specific to EGFR mutated lung cancer.

I'm glad that you are starting to feel better, and that you found Mayo Connect.

Hello I'm glad I found this spot as well. As I stated I'm in Minnesota and go to the Rochester clinic. I have had wonderful service by world class providers, but I don't understand the followup, there is non. They diagnose you they treat you but that's it no followup no nothing. I have been struggling with everything and have found no support. Why
