Hi everybody! Would like to say I'm happy to be here, but you know how it is...🤣
I was diagnosed back in November of 2019 with stage 4 NSCLC - EGFR exon 19 deletion (gooooo Tagrisso!)
Mets to my brain (it's cool, I don't use it much anyway), leptomeninges, spine and hip (suffice to say, I don't do much dancing anymore)
I'm a 46 year old male. Never smoker and nobody in my immediate family is/was a smoker (hey, sometimes 💩 happens).
Not sure what else to really say at this point. I think the worst part of my diagnosis was that it may have caused my primary care doctor to quit medicine. He was a new doctor and the poor guy had to tell me I had cancer when I was just there for a routine check up. His practice told me he left medicine a couple of months later 😢
Anyway, hope you're all doing well! Keep fighting the good fight and keep ringing those bells! Y'all got this!
