Hello, 

Wondering if anyone has used afatinib (pill form). If so, what were the side effects? I have heard rash/acne and diarrhea are the most common.

Hi Dyan,

I don't have any first hand knowledge, but there was recently a caregiver who joined whose mom just began taking afatinib. She had a similar question. Here is the discussion forum where other survivors shared their experience with the drug. Hope this helps answer a few questions.

Thanks Steff. That link was helpful. I don’t have EGFR but I have HER2 which is supposed to be in the same family. I may be starting afatinib soon if I don’t qualify for a clinical trial.
