Hi @sophal168, Every person is different. You mentioned that your Cancer is Stage 4, and that may not be cureable, but it can likely be managed with the targeted therapy that you are taking.
I have a different gene mutation (ALK), and I am also stage 4. I have taken a targeted therapy for the past 3 years, and I’m doing well. I will continue to take that medication until it stops working, and at that time we will try a different treatment. My cancer will never be gone entirely, but so far, I’ve learned to manage it like a chronic condition.
I am treated at a smaller Mayo Clinic site, that confers with the doctors at the larger Mayo Clinic as needed.
Have your doctors been able to answer your questions about long term treatment, such as staying on the medication? Are you tolerating the medication well, any side effects?
