Anyone taking Tagrisso for Lung Cancer?

@babs1956 I thought I might chime in as I’m on Tagrisso 80 mg since late February 2026 and I tolerate it well with minimal side effects. My first month I got a forehead rash but with antibiotic lotion, it went away and never returned. I also had some skin splitting by my nails but that also went away. Tagrisso crosses blood brain barrier and has been shrinking my brain mets and also my original lung mass a great deal. I understand, however, everyone is different. Facebook has a Tagrisso group and also EGFR group of folks on various treatments. I’m EGFR Exon 21 L858R. I was on chemo and stopped and now have progression and probably a different mutation, since the Tagrisso continues shrinking my original mets. I’ll get a biopsy this week to see. But with EGFR —targeted meds are typical to treat, plus chemo and/or radiation.

@artistrose it's good to hear from you! I'm glad you're doing ok on Tagrisso and that it's been helpful. Sorry to hear that you've also had progression. Are you having a bronchoscopy or needle biopsy this week?

@artistrose i’m so happy to hear that you’re doing very well on Tagrisso. When I was taking 80 mg my platelets dropped very low and every part of my leg was black and blue and then he put me on 40 mg. I have two nodules that are growing very slow slowly I go a week from today for my next scan. I’m really believing that God is going to heal me. I feel so good. I don’t feel sick. But it sounds like you’re doing very well thank God.
