Discussions tagged “Afatinib”

I've been prescribed Gilotrif 40mg Tablets (Afatinib) to treat my lung cancer, and I'm looking to share my experience and gather insights from others who might be going through the same thing. Afatinib works by blocking specific proteins (EGFR and HER2) that help cancer cells grow. While it’s been effective, I’ve also experienced some side effects that I’d like to discuss. Has anyone else had issues with skin reactions, eye irritations, or even severe stomach pain? I’d appreciate any advice on managing these symptoms. Additionally, if anyone has insights into the less common but critical side effects like lung problems or liver issues, I’d love to hear from you. Let's support each other and share our journeys.
