  • I'm sorry about the side effects your dad has started to experience 5 weeks in to taking Lumakras/Sotorasib Mich.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you're worried and would like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very helpful and will do all they can to support you and your dad at this time.

    If you or your dad haven't done so already, do be sure to let his cancer team know about this as they may be able to provide your dad with something to make this more manageable but in the meantime, I hope some of the tips and advice we have on coping with nausea, diarrhoea and eating will help.

    Kind regards,
