Stage 4 lung cancer. I am ALK+ & on Alectinib. Is anyone else having this course of treatment?

Hi, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer nearly 18 months ago

I am ALK+ and on Alectinib, I would really like to get in contact with someone else going through the same treatment.   The only people I have had contact with have been curable &  going through chemo, which is very different.

Because it is not that common it is hard to find someone to chat with & exchange experiences.

Thanks

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Csand although I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer almost 18 months ago.

    Hopefully some of our members who are in a similar position and are having the same treatment will be along soon to share their experiences with you, but if you have any questions or concerns about your treatment at any point, do feel free to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    You can also try looking for other members with the same diagnosis and discussions to join in on by using the 'search forum' bar at the top of our webpage.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
