In October I was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer caused by EFGR gene mutation. I had brain metastases and had to have surgery to remove the largest tumor. I then had three targeted radiation treatments to the brain. I am taking Tagrisso and it is shrinking the lung tumor as well as the two small brain tumors. Sadly, there is no cure. The medicine is keeping it in check. I feel great and am living my life as normal. Praying it continues to work. My advice is to not google and read everything you see on the computer.
Praying for you and your treatment.

lmd, how are you tolerating the Tagrisso. I just had surgery for Stage 1b, and even though there is no metastases, my oncologist wants to start Tagrisso. Also how are you paying for it? Thank you.

Am on the same medicine right now for approximately 6weeks!! I haven’t had any surgery as my cancer is only within the lung!!!
So to your knowledge there’s no cure for this mutation?
Can I ask which hospital are you treating at?
