Congratulations on your recovery. I wish you continued good health - so good to hear when someone beats this disease.
May I ask your mutations? I’m curious which ones besides BRCA 1/2 and PALB? are beating the odds.

Thanks. As you can imagine, given the aggressiveness of this cancer, I’m not out of the woods yet—but am grateful how things have rolled out thus far.

As for your question: I have a mutation in ATM.

KRAS G12C targeted with Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) shows a high response rate. Only about 3% of KRAS mutated cancers are due to G12C. It is more common in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer.
