Welcome @eds611!, were you recently diagnosed with EGFR lung cancer? How was the cancer identified? It can be such an overwhelming time, there is so much new information! Many of us here can help.
@eds611 eliminating dairy reduced the GI side effects from Tagrisso for me. like @babs1956 a plant based diet seems to work best overall. I still try to have some fresh fish occasionally. I was encouraged by my team to have salmon to help improve my skin/hair side effects. it was a bummer, but I also had to give up spicy food because I lost all tolerance for it. talking with a functional medicine doctor at my cancer center helped me with these sorts of issues/decisions. I wanted to see how I could best support my body during treatment - if that makes sense.

@eds611 hello, I’m on a plant-based diet. I follow Chris. Wark. If you look him up, he had stage three colon cancer and he opt out of radiation and chemo and everything with diet. They told him if he didn’t do chemo he died in six months. But he’s been clean now for 20 years. I will check him out.
