Anyone with NSCLC have targeted therapy stop working?

Hi

I’ve been taking Alectanib for about one year now after the complete removal of my left lung. I had some gastro intestinal issues at the original dose of 1200mg/day. The dose was reduced to 900 mg/day with no further problems. After a few months any side effects like coughing and regurgitation have gone away. I still have a small amount of constipation but not enough to be a bother. I’m getting scans every 3-4 months and so far no evidence of recurrence. I’ll keep taking this as long as it’s working even though it’s very expensive. I have an excellent quality of life

Hi @sonshine161, I'm glad that you are doing well on the reduced dose. What stage was your cancer when you were initially diagnosed?
