Your message is so inspiring, my husband has been diagnosed with stage IV and has the Egfr mutation. Just started taking tagrisson pills as a targeted therapy and nothing else at the moment. Anyone at the same treatment? Do you recommend a specific oncologist at Mayo to send him his report so far and get a second opinion?

@elechar2023, welcome to Mayo Connect. There are several very knowledgeable EGFR patients here. I'm glad that you found us.
I have a different mutation (ALK) and have only taken a targeted therapy/pills. I was diagnosed over three years ago. There are many success stories in the targeted therapy realm. How long ago was your husband diagnosed? Did he start with the Tagrisso right away, or have other treatments? Is he experiencing any side effects?

@elechar2023 I usually see Dr. Leventacos at Mayo and my husband and I absolutely love him. You can’t go wrong with Mayo, they put the patient first. I have a good friend who was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer in 2018 and travels to Mayo for all his care as well.
Wish you well!
