Post # 8 - exciting news

We got some really exciting news today, which feels like winning the lottery: Philip is one of the lucky 10% who have the EGFR or ALK mutation (not sure which). This means that chemo therapy can be better targeted and patients have a better prognosis. It is more common in people who, like Philip, have never smoked.

The GP has also replaced one of the pain-relieving medications with a skin patch, which should make the med schedule simpler.
