  • Hello Michelle

    I can see that you've previously mentioned that your Dad is struggling with some side effects of this treatment. I'm sorry to hear that things haven't improved. 

    I've checked the forum and we've not had anyone else mention this particular drug however I can see that there are a few people on the Macmillan lung cancer forum who have mentioned Sotorasib so it may be worth posting a question on their forum as well. 

    I do hope that the Consultant's team is able to make things more comfortable for your Dad soon. 

    Best wishes,
