Hello Francie,
I was diagnosed last May with lung cancer, small growths in both right and left lungs. Surgery to remove lower left lobe was done in June -biomarker testing showed it to be EGFR. However, lymph nodes clear, no sign of a specific means of spread. I chose 2nd surgery for right lung tumor - it was right alongside my heart. All lymph nodes clear, no sign of spread. That tumor was also determined to be EGFR. My oncologist recommended Tagrisso for 3 years as prevention - I've been on it over four months now and doing well. Astra Zeneca is providing it free thru their AZ&ME program. Simple form - they provided a swift response. At first I received it free even though I had private insurance. Now I am on Medicare, had to reapply, but still had positive results. I am SO grateful! Taking the Tagrisso was a choice my oncologist recommended, however he said about 50% of oncologists wouldn't suggest it as I was technically "cancer-free" after the second surgery. This is a good decision for me. Best of luck to you! You got it early which is great! I'm back to attempting to play pickleball and tap dance!
