Hi @Philip Waisonovitz.  Welcome to the forum.  I’m sorry about your diagnosis.  I don’t have any experience with Tagrisso but I’m sure others do and will be along to comment.  Good luck with your treatments.

Hi Philip,

It's nice to meet you.  I have the ALK mutation and take a medication similar to Tagrisso.  I've met a number of "EGFR Mutants" in the last year since my diagnosis.  Everyone is doing very well on Tagrisso.  Some folks have been on an EGFR inhibitor going on ten years now.  Another resource is Facebook, there is a vibrant EGFR community on line.  You will find very knowledgeable and supportive people here.   Let us know how we can help.
