Hi @mycancer, Lung cancer is such a shock for many of us. I wouldn't have been surprised to hear I had a different cancer, but lung cancer was a surprise. Some of that comes from an outdated narrative and the stigma associated with lung cancer. I now know, "Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer".
I'm glad you continue to do well. I'm assuming that you were taking Tagrisso? Did that stop working for you?
