Need help accessing Tagrisso (osimertinib) for my mother

My mother lives in Algeria and has stage IV EGFR-mutated lung cancer (exon 19 deletion). She was previously treated with Iressa/gefitinib, but the cancer developed resistance and her oncologist prescribed Tagrisso/osimertinib 80 mg.

We currently have the prescription and medical reports scanned, but Tagrisso is not accessible for us in Algeria.

I am trying to find realistic and legitimate ways to obtain the treatment from another country.

If anyone has experience with:

  • obtaining Tagrisso/osimertinib across borders
  • international oncology consultations
  • patient assistance programs
  • generic osimertinib
  • legally transporting cancer medication

I would deeply appreciate any guidance.

My mother is currently very weak and cannot travel easily, so remote consultations or family pickup routes would help most.

Thank you.
