Anyone in this group been on Tagrisso and have it stop working?

Posted by lmd1 @lmd1, Sep 13, 2023

I was diagnosed October 2022 with NSCLC EGFR mutation. I’ve been on Tagrisso since November 2022 and was doing great until my scans yesterday showed growth in my lung tumor. Having a biopsy to see if it has mutated again. Has anyone experienced this? Heartbroken and scared.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Cancer Support Group.

@duan62533732, Frustration, or whatever else you are feeling, are perfectly valid emotions. We all want more time from these drugs. Targeted therapies have been a game-changer in treating some cancers, but until we have a real cure they'll never be enough.

Here's a link to a similar discussion from last spring from @lmd1. Possibly she can provide an update on how's she's doing. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-in-this-group-been-on-tagrisso-and-have-it-stop-working/
Hugs!

A scan few days ago revealed a new tumor in the upper left lung, because of neck pain, there may be bone metastasis and brain metastasis. The doctor will arrange for an MRI and another genetic, then decide on a medical plan.
I'm just frustrated. Thank you for replying me.

Hi @duan62533732, Have you learned anymore about the new nodule?
