Gloria Hudson Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi, I am Gloria. I was diagnosed with stage IV adenocarcinoma nsc lung cancer in December 2015. I am ALK positive. I have been taking alectinib since July 2016. So far the cancer has decreased. The side effects of alectinib have been noteworthy. I would like to hear from other people on this medication. Thanks.

Tom Galli Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Gloria, Welcome here and good news about alectinib. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the drug but I'm sure others do. Look around the forum and get to know us. This is a good place to lean about living with lung cancer. Stay the course. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenH Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hi, Gloria, Welcome to LCSC. I am glad that alectinib is working where it counts! I have heard from several ALK patients that alectinib has some pretty "noteworthy" side effects. I will reach out to them and encourage them to respond to your post.
