Hello @embersonia, I'm sorry that the Tagrisso wasn't effective for you. It can't work for all variants of the disease. This discussion may be helpful as you begin your next treatment regimen: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/carboplatin-plus-permetrexed/
How long ago were you diagnosed? I'm also stage IV, 4 1/2 years ago, ALK positive.

Hi. My Diagnosis was in August. Treatment started in Sept. Cancer is stage 4. When started treatment it was 4 x 4 cm. Scan in Dec. showed it had increased to 7 x 7.
Huge increase even on Tagrisso.
Starting Chemo on Jan. 3.
So disappointed the Tagrisso didnt work.
