I too am KRAS but do not understand what the 11 means? I have had a node in my chest radiated with good results. I am currently on my 2nd immunotherapy.

Did you have prior radiation to the chest area before your node?

No other radiation to chest..only chemo and immunotherapy. What is Stk11?

Refresh our memories. Did you have radiation there before? If not I’m glad you’re looking at it now.
