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.
