Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lung, continual recurrences

I found out my Adenocarcinoma Lung cancer accidently in Oct. 2024. 10mm, 7mm and 5mm.
VAT wedge resection in RLL in March, 2025, removed 2 nodules, 10mm & 7mm.
Genetic test results EGFR mutation.

But 5mm nodule in left lung was not removed.

Two weeks ago, CT showed the 5mm grew to 7mm in 6 months and found a new additional 2mm in left lung. Doctor will do VAT wedge on Jan 13, 2026 to remove the 7mm but not the 2mm, although I asked for to remove.

I am 75 years old woman, I have never smoked, none of my family and friends is smoker. I have been doing everything right to keep my good health. I am frustrated it keeps recurring. Helen

@hch559 , Having surgery two years in a row sounds rough! I guess it's good that you know what to expect now. Hopefully everything goes well for you on the 13th. Maybe you aren't a good candidate, but because you have the EGFR mutation, has your doctor talked about targeted therapy at all?
