Hello @dragonspark
I don’t know if this is going to help in your decision making however in my situation (stage 2a tumor, lower right lobectomy) my oncologist suggested 4 rounds of chemo (cisplatin and permextred) followed by Tagrisso as giving slightly better chances of overall success. The chemo isn’t fun and did have some significant side effects (some kidney damage which resulted in only 3 rounds being completed and some hearing loss). However if the chemo truly helps my ultimate outcome then I’m OK with that decision.

Your situation is certainly different and I wish you luck in which ever decision you go with.

Thank you for sharing. Interesting that my oncologist thinks the other way for me. It might be because of the unique situation and unknown of the right lung.

Was your hearing loss and kidney damage resolved after stopping chemo?
