@lycisca it's such an important point you made about long term chemo. while targeted therapies have many upsides, the fact that the side effects are unending is a different challenge. I would like to see more studies on how the side effects change with time. I can only speak for my own experience with osimertinib, but year 1 was easier than year 2, which was easier than year 3.

@mamajite Ah man....I was hoping as the years (if I get there) went on, the targeted therapy meds would be easier to deal with. Sevabertinib is giving me major acneiform, hair thinning, diarrhea and more.... it's like I'm grateful to breathe better and be alive, but at the same time, I'm not exactly excited about social events...
