    Just wondering what your husbands new treatment is. My husband has stop with Opdivo also. The damn cancer has spread and is out of control. They say radiation, I'm ok with that, or trying docetaxel or erlotinib. They say maybe 6 months and have hospice called to stop by today. I cannot accept this, we will be married for 50 years in August.

    Thank you so much for the information on your experience with Tagrisso. Your words really put that patient at ease. Best of luck to you and your husband and may God bless you both.

    Donesewright,
    Hello...Greg the manager of this site is a friend of mine and directed me to your page. I am an oncology nurse and I have a young mom with the same diagnosis of lung cancer. Her M.D. is going to switch her from Tarceva to Tagrisso and She wonders if this drug has any side effects that she should be concerned about. If you have had this drug, what was your experience with this drug? Thank you for your most valuable time.
