my husband was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer adenocarcinoma in November 2023. he has been through eight rounds of chemo 33 rounds of radiation. Four rounds of immunotherapy has taken tagrisso, which almost killed him, And is getting ready to take terceva. He constantly complains about pain up underneath his armpit is this normal? He’s become very short of breath, but his oxygen levels are good. His oncologist is not much help. He wants him to take these pills and I’m not so sure it’s helping. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing thank you
So sorry to read about your husband's situation November 2023 is nearly 2yrs your husband is strong and a fighter. Regards your worries ask his team to explain about the medication side effects versus effectiveness and if you don't understand anything they should always explain it to you in a way that makes sense
Good luck and stay strog
