Anyone taking Tagrisso for Lung Cancer?

I've been on Tagrisso for 8 months now. I'm putting my faith on it to keep me the cancer from returning. So far I've only had minor side effects that are very tolerable . Mostly dry nails and some hair thinning. This forum is great at collecting data from other Tagrisso users. I've read a wide range of experiences. One thing I know its important to drink plenty of water through the day. It seems I have less S/E when I do. Moisturize skin a lot. When my nails are brittle, I wear gloves when washing dishes . Good luck on your treatment. Meditation and exercise to keep your body and mind strong.

@lala56 I have been on Tagrisso since January 2026. I had some minor side effects, but not too bad. (a little diarrhea for which I have medication for and some fingertip soreness plus some leg swelling) I was on infusions of Cisplatin and Alimpta for 6 cycles. I was a little nauseaous from the Cisplatin, but not too bad. Now I've been on only Alimpta for 2 cycles. I have 3 more to go! My tumors have shrunk considerably! I'm so glad. The oncologist gave me a BIG hug at the last visit.
