Going in for a second opinion right before my third ‘cancerversary’, I felt reasonably knowledgable about my stage IIIa non small cell lung cancer. Since my diagnosis, I have been through chemo, lobectomy, ablation and radiation accordingly the terminology was familiar. My tumor had undergone comprehensive biomarker mutation testing. While discussing next steps with the oncologist, rather flippantly, I said “It’s not like I have any bio-markers other than PD-L1..” Oh, but you do have kRas.
Wait, what ? KRAS ? How come I didn’t know? What do I need to know ? Where are the resources? Who is the KRAS organization of lung cancer warriors like EGFR, ALK & Ros1? Immediately, I reached out Go2Foundation, LUNGevity, Lung Cancer Foundation of America and LiveLUNG. It turns out, kRas cancer warriors need a community, an organization working to bring attention to the most common type of mutation within NSCLC. So here we are, ready to begin the challenge of kicking lung cancers kRas!!
kRasKickers.org is getting started. The vision is for patient driven, grassroots effort to share resources, experiences and encourage research. A single voice is easy to ignore, yet many voices together will be a chorus demanding attention. All lung cancer needs more treatments and a cure. KRas is a subgroup of lung cancer, we have different clinical trials, research and experiences to share and learn from each other.
If you don’t know your tumor mutations, ask your doctor. If you are KRAS, this is for us. Join the community of kRasKickers.org
