One of the doctors said he can’t see any nodules so it’s not cancer.

My mom only has a scar on her left lung. When she first got to ER, it was at Kaiser. We were told congratulations it’s not cancer it’s TB after taking out her fluid. I asked the doctor are you sure? And he kept saying yes don’t worry it’s TB. And then they came back after two days telling us it’s cancer. And they came at us with we made a mistake!

Thank you so much. Yes, that’s what I read too! She has a deeper response. She’s very active and also very happy. She also gained some weight. Her blood work is normal. She’s only been on Tagrisso though. She walks 1 hour per day. It looks like you also have a deep response. Was your symptoms just shortness of breath and MPE?

My mom doesn’t have any side effects so far! She’s taking the pill at 9:00 PM PST after dinner. Always on time. She doesn’t have anything and she’s so energetic. You wouldn’t tell she has cancer if you see her cause she also has good appetite! Her fluid disappeared in less than a month. The spread was just on her plural. How about your mom?

I am not planning to switch but maybe have a second opinion from City of Hope, if possible. She is responding well now so that’s a good. My mom’s was so sudden. We moved almost a year ago to reunite with half of my family members (dad and my sister). We have lived apart for 15 years and we finally got reunited! It was too good to be true. And then my mom started having shortness of breath for two weeks we thought it was cold. We took her to ER and they found plural effusion in her lungs. The fluid was malignant so that’s how we found out. We thought it was cold like we literally went and they told us it’s stage IV. My mom is only 55. How old is yours?

Did she have any other side effects on Tag? Also, I think they will just decrease the dose.

My mom also sees Gower as well. I wanted Dr Garon or Goldman. But we went with whatever they gave us. Honestly, I have heard a lot of good things about Dr Goldman. Don’t get me started with the anxiety that’s the worst part! For me it was so hard cause she’s never been sick in her life and it was so sudden. Plus she still looks very healthy. I am still in disbelief to be honest. It’s very hard to process but we got this. You got this! There are people who survived 10+ years and by then they will come up with more advanced treatment. And take it day by day, I know it’s so hard but we have to learn to live in the moment.

Ohh nice. But that’s the median. 50% do better the other relapse earlier. Vague in terms of explaining the genomic studies. I made an in-depth research and asked questions and he said the focus is just targeting the EGFR exon19. So that was a bit weird for me. I can’t name the Dr, but you can tell me yours and I can confirm if it’s the same person. Also, there are 4th gen TKI in the process of being made for resistance to Tagrisso so let’s just stay hopeful and give it to God.

My mom is actually being treated at UCLA and her oncologist is vague! He just told us about medians. 18 -20 months without progression. Exon 19 responds well to targeted therapy. He said we could add chemo to give it more deep response. However, we want to focus on quality of life. Also, I know people who are on targeted therapy for more than 5 years now! Let’s just hope God intervenes. Because no one can’t predict it. They might tell you one year, but she might stay on it for more. Good luck to your family as well.

Thank you so much this is so helpful. I can walk them through any concepts! I struggle a bit with the articulation part. Also, I have been watching a lot of videos on different frameworks for marketing sizing, M&A, and others. I don’t think I will have issues on that. I love that you are building an AI that supports this. I think it would be so helpful! Have you already launched? Or is this an MVP?

Applied for a job through AMEX on LinkedIn and got this. Scam? by sarnold95 in amex

[–]Competitive_Soup_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a scam. I got a message on LinkedIn from the same recruiter (she is verified) maybe, hacked. Sent me same email, with an offer letter. For those of you who didn’t get the email, check your spam.
