That’s very good results. I also have the ATM mutation and I think, just based on anecdotal evidence of the posts in this group, that ATM provides the more aggressive feature to pancreatic cancer as my CA19-9 is rising sharply within a small amount of time. The medical oncologist doesn’t want to do a biopsy on my lung module to verify its cancer and thinks it’s something else but doesn’t know what. I also had a lesion light up in my femur on my latest PET scan so now I have to get a MRI to verify it.

I was offered a biopsy on a lung nodule by my pulmonologist but after discussing with my oncologist, we decided not to since it would be a needless surgery to prove that what shrunk with chemo was mets. The theory was sound to me since I am a retired nurse and I watched those scifi movies where you "upset the mothership" and send little ships out 🙂
