Dear Mundy

Hope you hear from those on the forum that can provide some experience with this. As you probably know this is a combination of chemotherapy and targeted therapies.

This link will take you to information on this combination treatment from Macmillan support:

macmillan.org.uk/cancer-inf...

If you would like to discuss anything you can either email us at lungcancerhelp@roycastle.org or call our free phone nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

Hope it all goes well for you.

Kind regards

The Roy Castle Support Team

I had one cycle and a week or or so of the tablets but the oncologist thought it had caused a bronchofistula. So it was stopped after that one session. Lost a lot of hair though!Hope it works for you x
