I just received my genetic test results, and they show an EGFR mutation. This might be a blessing.

@tongxiaozhi, If your mother has the EGFR Exon 19 or Exon 21 mutation then this is good news. There is a targeted therapy for both of these mutations called Tagrisso. I've been taking it for 5 1/2 years and now have minimal side effects. My friend Frank has been taking it for 10 years and still works as a personal trainer. I wish you and your family all the best.
