How did targeted therapy help with my stage 4 lung cancer survival?

Targeted therapy can be incredibly effective for patients whose tumors have specific biomarkers, offering a more personalized treatment approach that often comes with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. It's wonderful to hear about such a positive long-term outcome, and this kind of story can provide hope and valuable insights for others in the community who may be exploring their own treatment options or newly diagnosed with similar biomarkers.

Thank you for sharing! I was diagnosed with with stage four lung cancer last April. I also had the blessing of a bio marker for targeted therapy. Your post is so very encouraging!! I just finished 30 days of radiation and six chemo treatments. Continue to take Tagressio. I needed to read your post today. Thank you!!! The fatigue is really hitting me hard.

I was diagnosed 12/24 on clinical trial and keytruda rashes are terrible but tumor shrinking left tired I’m fighting the fight

Congratulations thats great news because it atleast gives me comfort in knowing I have a good chance of living longer an that its very possible with God Thanks for your post an good luck God Bless

Is targeted therapy readily available

I think so

I have the EGFR bio marker which allows me to take targeted therapy, too! Can you share with me your experience of taking Tagrisso and for how long? I’m 2 years 6 months into treatment, diagnosed in Feb 2023 with Stage 3 Non Small Cell Lung Cancer.
