Hi all ,had a meeting with my oncologist this morning . to talk about the results of my ct scan for chest and head .I have been on osimertinib for 3 mouth , lots of side effects broken skin on fingers and toes back ache, and the worst no taste and no appetite, but the results were good shrinkage on the nodules in both lungs and also on the brain mets, he was a bit concerned about the loss of appetite , said give it a month to see if it improves ,if not may have to reduce the medication, all in all it was much better than I expected.
