Yes, I actually just finished my first treatment a couple of hours ago.
It’s been a roller coaster ride for me these past few months. I was on Tagrisso but scan in September/October showed lung tumor had started to grow. Biopsy did not show any change from my original diagnosis of EGFR deletion 19. My doctor encouraged me to try a trial and I did. Things looked great until my scan in January showed some growth again after the scan in early December showed a good amount of tumor shrinkage.
I am back on Tagrisso and will have 4 rounds total of this chemo and have scans scheduled for late March.
Taking one day at a time.

@lmd1 , I’m sorry to hear that the trial wasn’t a long term solution for you. I’m sure that was disappointing, but try to focus on moving forward. I’m hoping that you do well on the chemo combination. Be sure to communicate with your team if you are experiencing any side effects. Hugs.
