Many people on MyLungCancerTeam are taking Tagrisso (osimertinib) as part of their lung cancer treatment. One MyLungCancerTeam member shared that the side effects from Tagrisso are difficult, mentioning leg cramps, diarrhea, and fatigue as their main struggles. Tagrisso is known to cause a range of side effects. Here are some commonly reported ones to watch for:

- Leg cramps — possibly linked to nerve changes from treatment
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Rash
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Muscle or joint pain

It's worth keeping a symptom journal — noting what you feel, when it started, and how long it lasts. This can really help your care team fine-tune your treatment plan if side effects become hard to manage.

Always let your doctor know if any side effects are getting worse or interfering with daily life. Don't stop taking Tagrisso without consulting your cancer care team first.
