Congrats on 7 years @arne! I agree with your positive outlook. I've been taking the same targeted therapy (for ALK+ lung cancer) for the past five years, I was told that it may work for three. We aren't statistics, we're all different, and we all react to treatments in different ways. There is great promise in the future of lung cancer treatments and our lives depend on it.
Are you on any continuing treatment at this time?

I had radiation on lymph node in chest Dec 2024 and am watching 3 month pet scans, The next is in Sept. Depending on scan another med could be used. I have been trying several things for diet and exercise and other therapy types I can do at home. I am feeling better this summer than I have in three years. Let me know if you have any questions on specifics. I figured I might as well experiment on myself. Time will tell if the efforts make a difference.
