I am just new to the chatroom. I was diagnosed with Lung Ca this feb25 and has been on tagrisso . Is it common to have difficulty sleeping whilst on this medication?
I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year. I hope that apart from the sleep issues you've mentioned that the side effects of treatment haven't been too harsh for you.
Insomnia isn't listed as a side effect of Tagrisso (also known as Osimertinib) on our website, but that's not to say that the treatment you're having and all you've been through up until this point isn't impacting your quality of sleep.
We have some information about difficulty sleeping and cancer on our website, but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses for some advice and support, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. It's also worth talking with your specialist nurse about this problem to see if they have any reccomendations as well.
Hopefully you will find some support that will help improve this problem soon.
