Did Jenny Apple take Tagrisso?

Good question. I don’t remember. But it was available when she was alive, at least for people in clinical trials. It seems very very good at extending life for people with this type of lung cancer if they stay on it.

I just rewatched his video. He mentioned he met Jason Lee late last year and he is going to help him build and subsequently run a film lab somewhere in LA. And they're hoping to have that up and running by December but now his diagnosis may affect that timeline. He also spoke about he and his girlfriend had intended to move back to LA to be closer to family. I also am wondering if he is aware of the severity of his diagnosis?

If he thinks he can launch a film lab then he either isn’t aware of how little time he has left, or is ignoring the data to protect himself emotionally for now. It’s a horrific thing to go from being a single person without any kids, doing mostly what you want to do, to having to decide how to live the last months of your life.

Tagrisso, the medication Chris is going to start is about $18,000 per month but it also is taken every month for the rest of the cancer patient’s life.

The FDA approved Tagrisso in February - just 2 months ago and studies show that when combined with chemotherapy it does increase the median number of months patients diagnosed with metastatic non small cell lung cancer live.
