Anyone taking Tagrisso for Lung Cancer?

I have been on Tagrisso 80 mg for 2years on July 10, 2026. I was diagnosed with Lung cancer with Mets to the brain, stage 4, 2024.I had radiation to brain with good success. I, also had 4 rounds of chemotherapy infusion and I have been Cancer free since my original therapy . Thanks to Tagrisso! Praise God!🙏🏻
I have felt pretty good most days, but the last three weeks, I have noticed some fatigue, diarrhea, muscle aches, muscle spasms, and sores in my mouth. My appetite is poor, I eat but not much and dry mouth, which has been with me since the beginning. I must add I turned 81 this month and maybe some of my symptoms are an age thing! I look forward to reading about everyone’s success with Tagrisso!
It has been a blessing!
Linda

@almarodel
Magic mouthwash from compounding pharmacy & do baking soda
& salt in warm water rinses (boil water first & cool)
For appetite:
“A Good Day” medical marijuana gummies - just a 1/4 gummy to start, and mirtazapine at night
Try to eat bananas & cream of rice in am w/cream.
You’re very fortunate to have a great drug for EGFR.
And congratulations! Ring that bell 3 times well!!
@almaroMy wife was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer which spread to her brain. She had two different rounds of radiation to her brain. She was put on Tagrisso 80mg and after three years and five months she is showing NED no evidence of disease. The side effects are kicking her but, balance issues loss of appetite and diarrhea. The punishment definitely fits the crime. Thank god for Tagrisso and her team of doctors at Mayo.
I had stage 4 lung cancer but after 2 years on Tagrisso my Pet scan cannot detect any cancer. I have had lots of side effects but have conquered most of them. For muscle cramps or spasms, spray Magnesium oil directly on the area. The cramp should release within a few seconds. I had Diarrhea for months until I found a product that worked. It is called EMMA , made by Enclove Bioactives. I take it every day and no more diarrhea. Make sure that you order it directly from the company (I found it on EBAY, but it is a fake product). For mouth sores, I tried the magic mouthwash and it just made my mouth numb, no healing at all. Rinse with baking soda water several times a day. Also, check your toothpaste. I read that fluoride can aggravate mouth sores, so I started using Dessert Essence toothpaste with tea tree and neem (no Fluoride). Within a few days, all of my mouth sores were gone and have not come back. I also had a stomach issues. I found that acupuncture really helped. Hope this helps you.

@almarodel happy birthday Linda God bless you. I am also on Tagrisso. I can only take 40 mg though. I too have lung cancer. I have four nodules I believe but because of the Tagrisso they’re not growing, thank God. I go for my next scan on May 18. God bless you, Linda you’re doing great. 81 is young. Go enjoy your life.
