@shaila1902- Good morning and welcome to Connect. What amazing results you have seen. Will you be on osimertinib for life?

Not sure if this answers your question at all, but I’ve been taking Crizotinib (Xalkori), also a ‘targeted therapy’ for 3 months with remarkable tumor decrease in my stage 4 lungs. Minimal side effects. Best wishes to you on your new journey.

@2onlow8- What incredible results. Good for you! Are you having infusions at a hospital or at home?

@2onlow8- Well that's easy! I have what is called Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lungs and am not a candidate for targeted therapy as yet. I'm 4 A.
