What Causes Growing Of Lung Tumor While On Gilotrif?
I am currently taking 30 mg of gilotrif for my nsclc. My diarrhea has diminished greatly but my latest scan showed slight grown of my lung tumors. I really don t want to suffer with the severe diarrhea I experienced while on 40 mg but if it will stop the growth of the tumors maybe I should try it again. My oncologist is giving me the choice. I should have asked him about the efficacy of the 40 vs the 30 mgs? Any information would help: YYYY@YYYY thanks, pat
