Waiting for results; should know something by end of next week. I have an appointment on the 17th with my oncologist. My blood biopsy still showed EGFR deletion 19. Thanks for checking on me. Praying for answers.

Hi @lmd1, I have the same mutation. I didn't start taking Tagrisso until my cancer had metastasized to my brain. At the time I started, my Oncologist and Radiologist discussed whether the size was small enough to be treated by Tagrisso alone. There are guidelines for those decisions, but there can't be any hard rules because, like we always hear, "Every body is different." And every tumor, and every circumstance, etc.

My tumor was large enough (3.2 cm diameter) that it had to come out followed by some radiation. The good news is that was 3 years ago. Since then, that 1 Tagrisso a day has kept me cancer free. I hope for the best for you. Please let us know when you hear more.
