@mamajite Hello, thank you very much for your reply. We were originally going to have surgery to remove part of the lung, but during the procedure the doctor examined the pleura using thoracoscopy and then decided to stop the operation. Before the surgery, we had a PET-CT scan and a brain MRI, and neither showed any problems. We are now waiting for the results of the genetic testing. Have your parents fully recovered?

@tongxiaozhi it's good that both the PET and MRI were clear. have you learned which EGFR mutation your mom has? I hope there will be a good match with a targeted therapy.

it's kind of you to ask about my parents. they have both passed away now. 🙏🏻 my dad had lung cancer in the 1980s when treatments were more limited. and more recently my mother had lymphoma. she was able to have several years with us after diagnosis thanks to her treatments.
