I think the 12c has targeted options but the 12v does not.
I agree that Staying positive is important- staying anxiety free is not though.
Glad you’re doing well.

Thanks
I agree but I’m wondering what percentage of people with Kras 12v do well since everything I read about it is so bad. What are the odds of another nodule showing up ?

The KRAS mutation is relatively common, occurring in up to 30% of people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 80% of all lung cancer cases, making this a well-studied mutation. While specific survival rates for KRAS12v mutations aren't provided in the search results, early-stage lung cancer Show Full Answer

The KRAS mutation is relatively common, occurring in up to 30% of people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 80% of all lung cancer cases, making this a well-studied mutation. While specific survival rates for KRAS12v mutations aren't provided in the search results, early-stage lung cancer generally has better outcomes than advanced stages. The key to better outcomes is early detection and appropriate treatment. There are now specialized resources and treatment options available specifically for people with KRAS mutations, including clinical trials and targeted therapies. It's important to work closely with your oncologist to develop a personalized treatment plan, as they can best evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for your case.

Fair to middling on recurrence. I'm kras g12c. Kras can be harder to treat and there are less targeted options. But there ARE some options so stay positive

Stage 1 has way better odds in general. Hope they can "kill" it in the early stages!
