KatieB Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi evergreen, I have supported a few patients who took a treatment break due to side effects. They didn't return to Xalkori though. They were watched closely by scans and once they had progression they moved onto the next line of targeted therapy. How are you doing? Please post with an update. We are here for you. Best hopes, KatieB Tom Galli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryncp123 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I think they may go to another TKI if there is some reason they cannot take Xalkori but I have never heard of a wash out period between TKIs. Has anyone heard of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryncp123 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I was on Xalkori for 29 months with no problems so I never had to take a break from it however, I did have progression and was switched to alectinib at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
