@bdurel you are truly fortunate to have EGFR and option of Tagrisso. We were hoping for that mutation in Guardant 360 results, but got ERBB2 w/Exon 20. Then a new drug Hernexeos came out for that!! Keytruda & platinum chemo not much hair loss. Maybe you can consult a hairdresser for permanent extensions or a fall? You’re beautiful either way! Hang in there!! Outcomes are all at least 10-15 years outdated and Keytruda (pembro) and Tagrisso are both game changers! You will beat this!!

@bdurel, I'm sorry to read about your friend's daughter. It's hard to lose anyone, but right now I'm sure this news hits a little harder for you. Most of us that were diagnosed a while ago have experienced the death of at least one cancer-friend. It's never easy. And it's never fair that a parent should have to face the death of their child, no matter their age.
Each of our cancers are a bit different, and so are our bodies. Your 3A if specific to you. It sounds like you have an oncologist that is focused on your case, and on keeping things in perspective. How did today go? Did you maybe ask one of the nurses what they've seen with hair loss and if they have any other gentle shampoo recommendations?
