My husband will be starting Tagrisso in 2 days. Stage IV, carboplatin and abraxane didn’t make impact after two treatments. We’re hopeful Tagrisso will help. He also has pleural effusion.

I have been taking it for the past 10months. Minimal side effects. Drink
plenty of water.

Hi @gigi123, I want to add my warm welcome to those you've received from @nursed2075 and @shaila1902.
Gigi, if my calculation is correct, your husband started Tagrisso (osimertinib) yesterday. As a targeted therapy for people with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 (L858R) mutations new hope. How are you both feeling about things?

Nursed and Shaila, what time of day did you find best for you for taking the once-a-day pill?
