Anyone taking Tagrisso for Lung Cancer?

Thank you for your kind words. I'm feeling good and the gabapentin is working; I haven't had any restless leg issues in 3 whole nights! Even though I'm sleeping better, tiredness is my prevailing issue. Every afternoon I crash by 1:30 or 2, and sleep for an hour if I can. I try not to schedule afternoon commitments if possible, which hasn't worked much this week. 🙂 Anyone else having this almost constant weariness?

@kugan cancer fatigue is real. and if your nighttime sleep is interrupted, that can also worsen it. it's ok to take a nap when you need one. some things to try: shifting the time you take Tagrisso and see if it works better for you. ginseng - but check with your pharmacy team before adding any supplements, some of them will interact with Tagrisso or other medications you might be taking. walking (or some other physical activity you enjoy) - it's counterintuitive, but research shows it helps reduce cancer fatigue.

Hello @kugan
Yay !!! 3 nights no restless legs ! 😊 What a relief for you,
no more walking the floors in the middle of the night !
Sorry you are feeling fatigue, naps and trying not to schedule busy afternoons is a good idea.
Meanwhile, hoping you’ll find out what is causing it soon.
🤗 Daisy
