Anyone taking Tagrisso for Lung Cancer?

@vking
I tearfully thank you. The spasms occur especially at night and most recently after sitting for fifteen minutes. . Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

@frane sorry to hear that. please let her oncologist know the symptoms she's experiencing. Tagrisso (osimertinib) can affect the heart in myriad ways. best to have her evaluated to make sure it's still a safe treatment option for her.

@frane that’s one of the side effects his heart issues. Maybe they can give her something else. What a shame I’m so sorry to hear that.

@babs23 She is taking 80mgs daily

I’m actually writing on behalf of my sister. No bruises, just heart problems.

@frane yes I am taking 40 mg. I tried the 80 but I developed all these bruises on my legs. I’m doing very well on 40 mg. How long have you been taken to Tagrisso.

Is anyone here also dealing with heart issues?

Wow! So many great suggestions. Thanks everyone.
I am on 80mg of Tegrisso for Stage 4 metastatic lung cancer since March 29, 2025. I experience many of the side effects, however , i went from unbearable pain for three months before diagnosis and two months, thank God, after treatment I was able to walk again.
Using floss, pick, water pik, brush, and mouth wash after eating has helped. At first, mouthwash and toothpaste were so uncomfortable. My dentist recommended Cloysis and this helped.
The journey has been remarkable since taking Tegrisso.

Thanks to all for your response! It help’s to hear how others are dealing with the side effects! The main thing is to keep going, trust in God and your oncologist and in yourself. Find what works for you and share with others. That’s what support groups are about!
You know that we are all grateful to be alive and we understand each other! God bless! I have found that the baking soda & salt in water soothe mouth sores the most!

Thanks for the tips!
