Side Effects
What was your most stifling side effect that caught you off guard? How did you handle it?
I have been on Tagrisol for about a year and s half. I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Mets to my other lung.
The worst part of the treatment for me is the diarrhea. TMI I know. The only thing that helps is taking Immodium every time I eat.Thank you for sharing your experience as I'm sure many can relate in one way or another when starting any of these treatment options, and the possible side effects that tend to linger. When you have a moment there's an awesome article that helps by supplying tips on how to cope and manage some of those stomach issues that may show out during treatment.I hope it's helpful along with what you're doing already 😀
Best!
