@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.

@mamajite Yes, we’ve since learned that my mom has an EGFR exon 21 mutation, and we’re hopeful there will be a good targeted therapy option for her. It’s reassuring to know there are treatments available for this type.

I’m very sorry to hear about your parents. It sounds like they both went through difficult journeys, and I’m glad your mother was able to have those extra years with you—that time is truly precious. Thank you again for sharing that with me. 🙏🏻
