jlk Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I am 57 year old female never-smoker diagnosed with Stage 3 - non small cell adenocarcinoma with positive ALK mutation in September 2015. Treated with Chemo and Radiation, no surgical options, have been taking Xalkori since February 2016. So far, so good, CT Scans show no activity! Looking forward to learning what I can about dealing with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Hello JLK , welcome.. I was diagnosed with Stage 3b NSCLC . I had to have chemo and radiation but lucky for me they said it killed it so I could have surgery but they did want me to have more chemo as a precaution after surgery. I finished all that in the spring of 1998 ! I am still here. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Feel free to ask questions Donna G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
