Alectinib for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer "Taking for the last 12 months regularly, lungs have been cleared in PET CT report, some metastases are in the brain. Doctor advised me to continue for 4 months more. It is easy to swallow, but constipation is the main problem that occurred to me."

For Non Small Cell Lung Cancer "I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer [ALK] 18 months ago and originally given a life expectancy of 5 months. All signs of cancer disappeared in three months after taking Alectinib. My last three scans have been clear! My current dose is three capsules twice a day. The treatment has had a number of side effects... severe lethargy, dizziness, initial severe shoulder pain, fluid retention, mild anemia, breathlessness, constipation, my liver blood tests showed some effect originally [I have now stopped drinking alcohol]. Ten minutes now is my limit for any physical activity, which is a significant improvement."
