I do have all kinds of "side effects like nail problems, low blood pallet, low white-cell count, and another cancer occur after 3+ years taking Tagrisso. However, I got 7+ years life-extension with Tarceva (17 months), Tagrisso, and radiology treatments of my brain and lung.
Before next stage chemotherapy treatments, I would like to know: IF THERE IS ANY BETTER CHOICE OTHER THAN CHEMO TREATMENTS?
