My mum is not NED as she has multiple lung nodules that are inoperable. She is a NRAS mutant. Our onco also told us that there are no more drugs to use after folfiri, which made us very worried as well. Mercy I'm also NRAS mutated. After Folfox and Folfiri failed, I was put on 5FU + Erbitux before ...

I'm so glad the SSDI went through quickly. Best wishes!

Last February I had a liver and colon ressection (They also took my gall bladder as well) and I recover...
