My mom was just diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. My heart is completely broken in pain. I battle Intense bipolar and anixtey. I can’t lose her. I don’t know how to deal with this. Please I need some help on coping.

Update my mother is still fighting and taking things day by day. She is taking Tagrisso and after being on it for 3 months they redone the scans and there is some difference. So hopefully the tagrisso keeps working!

Is anyone taking or has taken tagrisso before? I was wondering about the side effects anyone has experienced.

@AlwaysME thank you for the updated I hope she continues to fight and gets better

Never had been on that medication, but you could try creating a discussion for it in the long cancer treatment forum and ask ther . Maybe someone has better advice.

Sorry u could not be of help.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
