Hi Evenieves,
A lot has happened to my mum and the family since the diagnostic, in a good way. We took the risk to get it removed, and from the surgery it's confirmed that she is staged 3A and good clearance. She is EGFR positive and on Iressa at the moment. There's a recent studies come back to be very promising so let see how it goes. IKN is really difficult to get in, unless you started all the way from government, the waiting period is forever. I hope you found ways around it with some connection. (I found none)
My mum has been doing a lot of alternative holistic treatment too, cancer is a problem of weakened immune system, cutting it out doesn't solve the problem completely, she is on IV high dose Vit C, Coffee enema daily, eassiac tea, PM and i point you to some of the places for good learning information.
All the best.

My mom has lung cancer and currently on targeted therapy drug called Iressa (like Claudia's mom) but it is losing its effectiveness after 1 year. The next alternative is switch to a 3rd generation drug called Tagrisso (Iressa is a 1st generation) which is 3x more expensive. We are now contemplating asking the Oncologist to refer us to IKN but not sure if :
1. Do they recommend targeted therapy drugs? Read a few good experience at IKN for chemo and radiotherapy treatment but not sure if they only have these treatment and not the newer treatments like targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
2. If you are new into IKN, would they do all the tests and biopsy all over again?
3. Anyone can share the waiting time that they have experienced before being accepted into IKN?
If anyone can share any experience at IKN is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
