Since you have finished 6 sets of chemotherapy now we have to see what your response is to chemotherapy by doing CT scan of chest with upper abdomen, Bone Scan and MRI brain. If u have a good response or stable disease and if your EFR mutation test report is positive then now u can be put to maintenance oral chemotherapy tablets called erlotinib. Side effects of erlotinib are diarrhea and rash. Since you're in stage 4 of your disease the intent of treatment is palliation and improving quality of life and not cure. Regards Chat Doctor.
