My outcome continues to be positive. Early detection - Stage 1b - helps. Today I learned that all lymph nodes were clear! Great news. I also learned that my cancer is related to dna and a gene mutation. Not sure what this means yet. Before this finding, no treatment was recommended. Just scans every 6 months. Anyone have experience with EGFR and early stage Non Small Cell cancer?

Congrats on the good news! That's exciting.
I'm glad they found the EGFR gene mutation. Knowing what's driving the cancer can be so important in today's world of high-tech treatments. I'll be interested to see what your treatment plan looks like being at an early stage.
I have a different mutation, ALK, and mine was found late stage. I'm so glad that we're seeing more cases where it's found early! Great news!
