I had to switch to a different medication because of the severe stomach pain. It was just too much to handle. I hope anyone considering Gilotrif talks to their doctor about these risks.
I had no idea about the potential for Stevens-Johnson syndrome. This is super scary stuff. I hope no one has to go through that. Always good to be informed.
I had a severe skin reaction to Gilotrif. It was terrifying. I had to stop taking it immediately and contact my doctor. Be very cautious and watch for any signs of allergic reactions.
I'm on month 6 of Gilotrif and while the side effects are brutal, I feel like I'm winning the battle against cancer. It's tough, but worth it in the end.
Gilotrif has been a game-changer for me. I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, and this medication has given me a fighting chance. The side effects are tough, but my oncologist helped manage them. Hang in there, everyone!.
I just started Gilotrif and I'm already feeling extremely tired. Is this a common side effect for others? Should I be worried?
The dry skin and lips are the worst for me. Anyone have any tips on how to manage this? I've been using coconut oil and it helps a bit, but I'm still looking for more solutions.
My oncologist told me that liver problems are a real risk with this drug. I'm monitoring my symptoms closely and making sure to get regular blood tests. It's important to stay on top of things.
