Do you qualify for the MIRACLE drug, TARGRESSO? You have to have a special mutation…..
I was on it for 1 1/2 years that had to stop because of side effects. Some people do very well on it!

Hi,
Yes my husband qualified under an Estrazenica study for 3 years for left lung cancer which had a protein, biomarker for Tagrissso, being EGFR. His 3 years are up next month and will then be taken off Tagrisso. All contrast ct scans over the 3 years has been stable for that lung.

I don't know. I have had two nodules removed so they have the lab results and Mayo did the Solid Tumor panel study.
But I had radiation-induced pneumonitis and my pulmonary function tests declined since then. Saw Pulmonologist in Interstial Lung Disease Clinic at Mayo because I also have pulmonary fibrosis.....and he has indicated that I have a high risk of return pneumonitis with any future cancer treatment including immunotherapy, and this could significantly impact my quality of life. It may be preferable I not do anything more if it remains a slow growing cancer. Having multifocal lugn cancer means there is always another nodule to watch.
