Hi all,
Mum was diagnosed in Feb 2021, stage 4 NSCLC with the EGFR protein.
She started Tagrisso in March and everything seemed to be going well. However, mum has since experienced 2 hospital admissions. She has suffered extensive bruising of the lung (due to treatment) and has had repeat infections.
Her first ‘routine scan’ ended up being via A and E and due to the bruising the consultant can’t see if the tumour has stayed the same. She was sent home with oxygen and has again been readmitted to hospital late last week.
Mum had a 1 month break from Tagrisso between the admissions and managed to take 1 more pill before going back into hospital. The consultant has now taken mum off Tagrisso and chemotherapy options have been mentioned.
I would really like to hear from anyone who has had similar experiences on Tagrisso and if they have been overcome? We have heard really positive things about the drug but obviously do not want mum to suffer.
thank you all xx
