No, not yet. I need to look up what those are… it’s so much education between diagnosis and treatment. @mamajite

@easmith it can be overwhelming but we're here to help! biomarker testing looks at the genes of your cancer to see if there is a "targeted" drug that is a match. I expect they will test your tumor after surgery, but it is definitely something to ask your oncologist/surgeon if they will be doing. here's a link with more info from the American Lung Association.
