Hi Everyone!
So glad I found this site- everyone seems so helpful!
My mom was just diagnosed with Stage IV NSC Adenocarcinoma. Never smoked.
They did most tests but it will take 2-3 weeks for the mutation testing to come back- if it tests positive Dr. will recommend Tarceva.
My question is this: Are there any pros or cons that you know of to starting chemo in the meantime? Of course my mom is hoping to do Tarceva instead but I would think it is beneficial to start chemo in case she tests negative.
Has anyone gone through this? Any answers would be deeply appreciated.
God Bless you all!
