Even for non-smokers like me, these are genetic changes in lung cancer cells that doctors test for—because targeted medicines can work like magic on them. But the obvious answer about "progress" forgets that in Hassan, we have to travel three hours to Bangalore just for the test, and each scan eats into savings meant for my father's arthritis oils. So I marvel at the science, but my reality is a quiet dread that the cure might arrive in a bill we cannot afford to open.
