New targetted therapy patient saying hello

Hello from me. 

This is my first communication and would like to find out who else is out there with the same diagnosis and treatment as me. It would be interesting and reassuring to know, good and bad. I'm in a good place and very pragmatic and would like to get involved with others stories.

I am into my 4th month of taking Alectinib for stage 4 lung cancer which has reduced the tumours.

I also have to have daily Dalteparin injections for right leg DVT and pulmonary embolisms.

I would like to hear from Alectinib patients to see how you are on it and how long you have been. 

Thank you in advance.

  • Hello Bretty and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry about your diagnosis but it's great that the tumours are responding well to the Alectinib.

    I've had a quick look through the forum for you and found that are [@arty-boy]‍ and [@Billyjean]‍ are also taking this, so now I've mentioned them in this post they will hopefully stop by when they can to share their experiences with you.

    If you have any questions about Alectinib, our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps and I wish you continued success on your journey.

    Kind regards,
