EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangements are specific genetic changes found in lung cancer, common in never-smokers like me. They’re not caused by tobacco but by other factors, and targeted treatments exist for them. My health insurance and metro hospital reports taught me this early, so I could ask the right tests.
The obvious worry is always pollution or secondhand smoke, but my doctor said for many of us, it’s just bad luck in our genes — a quiet thing, like a gate swinging shut without a sound.
