Thank you for this forum.....I feel like I've found an "oasis in the desert". I'm into my second month of taking Tagrisso, and am experiencing a lot of side effects....mostly shortness of breath and cough. Mostly good days, but some "not so good".

It's good to know I'm not alone in this.

Hi @confident, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I love your selection for your name, and I’m glad you found us. There are other EGFR patients here, who are taking Tagrisso.
I have the ALK mutation, so I take a different targeted therapy, but the side effects are usually similar and even after three years continue to be a challenge for me sometimes.
If you are comfortable sharing, what stage was your cancer identified, and just a couple of months ago?
