Hello All, I am only few months into this lung cancer experience, so any info would be appreciative. My NSCLC was discovered, actually by chance, only about 3 months ago. After some initial investigation, it was discovered to be metastasis and had move to some lymph nodes. I was initially treated every 3 weeks with and IV solution Keytruda. After several weeks the cancer was still moving so I was switched to pill form treatment with Crizotinib (Xalcori). The Criz REALLY elevated my liver enzymes so it was stopped and I was then started on a newer pill form, Alecensa (Alectinib).
Now after day 9 of Alectinib I noticed serveral spots on my skin mainly on my torso, very similar to freckles. Be the end of the day and by day 11 a full blown raised rash had developed and was covering my entire body, EVEN the palms of my hand, and ITCH...!!!!! OMG I am going crazy.
Has anyone had any similar experiences or words of wisdom to share????
