Meloni Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 We met with my oncologist yesterday to discuss the recurrence of NSCLC in my right supraclavicular lymph node. The thoracic surgeon who performed my lobectomy agreed to perform this surgery, and I'm scheduled to consult with him on March 9th. The results are back on the tumor testing. It tested positive for ALK. The oncologist talked a bit about the drug crizotinib as a possible future treatment.

Tom Galli Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Meloni, So the surgeon will remove the troubling node and with the ALK biopsy finding, you've got an established targeted therapy as a future treatment. This is good news, I think. Stay the course. Tom Mally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
