Anyone on Gilotrif/Afatinib?

Hi. My mom just started a new treatment pill called Gilotrif this week. She took Targrisso and had to stop due to side effects and disease progression it didn’t help her at all. She’s done 6 rounds of chemotherapy and she recently had “moderate disease progression” after her 1 maintence chemo round.

Gilotrif Afitanib is a joke

The highest doseage of this drug (40mg) turned my well-respected body literally into a garbage dump. So the doctor tried me on the 30mg version which was worse in every respect than the 40mg. My skin was falling off and I looked like a leper. I was going to go completely off of all of it and the doctor
