Looking for some insight as I am concerned about having a Pancoast Tumor. I am 44yr old female smoker that quit 6months ago. In July, I started to have tingling/numbness in my pinky and outside ring finger and palm of my hand.  It has been constant and has never stopped it correlates to the Ulnar Nerve. As time has progressed I am having more scapula, shoulder chest and arm pain...not constant and it's tolerable. I had a chest X-ray in April (before this began) and a cervical X-ray a few weeks ago..nothing majorly found.

To be held ONLINE July 17, 2021, 10:00 AM Eastern

Hope to see you there...LIVE...online.  :)

Hi, my spouse has been taking Tarceva for a few years.  To my knowledge, generic Tarceva has been available on market since last year.  I was wondering if any of you know the efficacy of the generic Tarceva.  Those generics include Mylan, Teva and Armas.  Do they have the same efficacy as the branded Tarceva?  Do these generic brands show differences in efficacy from one to another?  Any information is appreiated?  Thank you.

The Targeted Therapies Patient Forum from CancerGrace.org is finally here and FREE to anyone.  Originally scheduled for earlier this year our forum is now going to be held live online this Saturday, September 12, 2020.  

The ADAURA clinic trial has proven that patients taking Tagrisso with IB-IIIA NSCLC had a 79% reduction in disease recurrence and the disease free survival rates were 89%.  Based on this trial I of course want to get on this medication ASAP.  Unfortunately, it hasn't been FDA approved for my group (Stage IIIA) yet and therefore my insurnce will not pay for it.  Does anyone have any idea how I can obtain this medicine at a somewhat affordabel cost?  Will Beacon Pharma sell Tagrix to me since I live in the US?  Does Bonhoa have legitimate medication?  All help is

Hello, my father was in Tagrisso for 9 weeks. His symptoms started to deteriorate particularly having shortness of breath (although his pain was much better) so doctors did a bronchoscopy and a CT Scan and found progression. He has been switched to chemotherapy. A second opinion mentioned that he should have gotten a PET Scan and that there was not sufficient evidence to eliminate Tagrisso. We had such high hopes for the medicine that we are now with thoughts about if we did what was correct and if he can return to Tagrisso at some point in the future.

Hello,

I am writing to make patients with Lung Cancer THAT WERE SMOKERS  aware of something that I was not,

That BLADDER CANCER can develop as a second cancer to people that already have Lung Cancer.

The largest group of people that get Bladder Cancer are MEN OVER 65 WHO WERE SMOKERS.

My husband who had Stage III NSCLC  found out suddenly that he had BLADDER CANCER too.

Not metastatic, but a second primary cancer.   It turns out that the Lung Cancer treatment worked,

Dear Doctors and Moderators!

could you please advise where to go after dramatic progression in bones and lungs on Tagrisso .

first line: carboplatin alimta avastin didn’t work at all

second line: tarceva worked perfectly for 9 months them progressed in lung and bones

third line: Tagrisso without t790m worked perfectly and clear both lungs for 5 months 

now is dramatic progression in bones and lungs .

Tissue biopsy showed my original l858r mutation.
