I was diagnosed with stage 3a havoc which was not resectable due to lymph node location. Had 6 chemo & 30 radiation treatments that went very well.No side effects at all. Started me on Tagrisso and after 2 months developed terrible side effects and ended up in hospital with pneumonitis. Dr said good thing ! Came in. See oncologist Thursday and have no idea what's going to be next. Anyone else have this happen?

Welcome to Mayo Connect @nanajan26, The targeted therapy medications (like Tagrisso) can be amazing when they work, but for some people they come with some scary reactions and side-effects. We'll be interested to hear what your oncologist has to say later this week. Are you feeling better off the drug, and are your lungs are returning to normal?
