Is Chemotherapy Or Medication Suggested For Stage 4 Lung Cancer?
Hi, my wife just found out after taking Iressa for 3 months from a recent CT scan that it her stage 4 lung cancer has still progressed, meaning the iressa was not effective. She has the EGFR L861Q mutation. My question is if it is worth the try to go on Tarceva, or go straight to chemo as the next treatment?
