Hi Lisa and Colleen, my oncologist started me on tagrisso this week (EGFR mutation) and we have scheduled 4 chemo sessions starting next week. Pleural effusion is so bad that I had (4) thoracensis already, will have pleurx in another week. To add to my agony, they found 3 (abt 6-9 mm) supratentorial hemorrhagic lesions, concerning for hemorrhagic metastases on my MRI. I would be referred to a neuro as well.

Oh @dnmca, this sounds like a rough time for you. I hope you're able to see that these difficulties won't last forever. Focus on getting better, if you can yet. How was your first week of chemo?
