Hello I was just wondering if anybody else on here has suffered with a sore and painful middle finger due to taking Osimertinib. I've been taking these for the last 6 months and is keeping my cancer at bay. I have had 2 lots of antibiotics but soon as I finish them it comes back.?

  • Hi muffin

    sorry to hear about your finger, I know these can be really painful. I know some Drs are not always in favour of long term antibiotics or low dose prophylactic antibiotics, but would it be worth discussing this ? 
    good luck x

    Good morning lovely people. 

    2nd CT scan on 17 April this tear (R upper lobectomy Dec. 2022) recent scan has shown my middle lobe is compressed. Having bronchial lavage on the 23rd May. Letter to GP from consultant described it as possible middle lobe syndrome,  GP unsure what this is. Regular chest infections but one in December this year & a few weeks ago really floored me. Throat is quite raw & my voice is quite hoarse. Anyone able to suggest any ideas on what's going on with me ?
