Diagnosed with lung cancer, back pain experienced where tumor is. taking tagrisso for 2 weeks now but still having pain. is pain due to cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: Pain is due to the cancer until proven otherwise, specifically if the location matches. Different mechanisms maybe involved, including pleural effusion or musculoskeletal invasion, among others. Your oncologist is your best resource at this point and he or she should know about your symptoms.
