Hi Robert, I had a similar experience with Tagrisso, where my tumour grew from 6.7cm to 9.8cm within a month. But I think it was a wrong diagnosis since I do not have EGFR biomarker after doing my second biopsy. The doctors might present other treatments such as chemotherapy and/or radiation. The side effects will be more painful, but something that you'll get use to just like Tagrisso. Hang in there, and I hope all the best. Cheers

Hi, my name is Darius Audryc from Singapore, and I've been fighting stage IV NSCLC / Adenocarcinoma since March 2021. I am now 30 years old. Although I have a stage IV LC, the tumour has only spread within the lung. However, I have a unique situation where my left tumour is more sensitive to chemo than my right tumour. Most of the doctors I met assumed that I might have two different type of cancers. And since the right lung tumour is more stubborn, we only did a genetic testing on the right lung tumour. Unfortunately, the result has shown that I do not have any known biomarkers. So I have less than 1% PDL1, no EGFR, ALK, BRAF, etc. My current treatment is chemo: Texotere (90mg) and immuno: Keytruda (200mg). I am hoping to learn more from people who have similar experience, which is stage IV NSCLC with less than 1% PDL1. What type of treatments have you done that is effective, and what other complications that you encountered? I am glad to learn about this community and hope to learn as much as possible.
