Thank you all for your suggestions and support. Kefir is helping!
Update: after nearly 9 months on the 80mg Tagrisso, in addition to the diarrhea I developed a full body rash (very itchy) and my fingernails became quite brittle and seemed to stop growing. I shared these new symptoms with my oncologist and he agreed to drop the dosage to 40mg. Thankful - and hopeful that this will ease the side effects.

I was diagnosed Stage 1B adenocarcinoma in January 2025 and had my partial lobectomy (with a robot assist!) in February 2025. As many have said, this is a journey ....

I’m also 1B ADENOCARCINOMA - EGFR 19. I had a complete RLL lobectomy. I’m starting Tagrisso next week. I’ve asked my oncologist if I can start at 40mg. May I ask your age and where you live? I’m so glad to find this community! Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope your symptoms and quality of life improve soon!
