Judy M2 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I'm sorry, but we in the U. S. are prohibited from giving our Tagrisso to anyone else. You may want to try the generic Tagrix which I believe people get from India from this pharmacy: https://www.bonhoapharmacy.com/non-small-cell-lung-cancer-nsclc/81-tagrix-osimertinib-80-mg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rower Michelle Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 It’s also possible to post a direct message in the Forum without having to share direct contact information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexieCat Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Right, we don't allow posting of personal information on the forums--they are public and for the safety of members (who might otherwise be targeted by spammers/scammers) we remove such info when posted. But Michelle is right, if you send a private message to someone, then any exchange of personal info is between those two people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
