Hi Matthew,
Thank you for all your valuable information. It’s so helpful knowing some of our similarities and how yours have been treated, side effects and surgeries.
Yesterday I had a Brain MRI and a TTE and from what I could see online about my results they were both good. I am so grateful for that even though I haven’t spoken with my Oncologist yet about the results.
I’ll speak with her this week and will probably go back on the Tagrisso in 2 weeks.
I have been working out with a trainer the last 4 months to get stronger which I have and I don’t think the back pain I’m experiencing is from training. I think it’s from the Tagrisso. I have read where some people do have muscle and joint pain in their back and lower legs. If it’s another one of the side effects and nothing else I will live with all that knowing the Tagrisso is the top drug for the mutation I have for at least 3 years. I’m being treated at Cedars Sinai in LA and am also confident with all my Drs. as well.
I’m glad to hear your doing well now and recovering so well from your brain surgery. Scary! Thanks again for sharing your medical journey and wishing you the best possible outcome also!
