I HAD 11 IV CHEMO TREATMENTS & 52 RADIATION. I HAVE BEEN ON XALKORI FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND NO SIGN OF CANCER. IF I STOP TAKING XALKORI WILL THE LUNG CANCER RETURN? (NEVER SMOKED)

@peachie, that is a good question to ask your oncologist. Your oncologist can talk about the risk of recurrence with Xalkori vs without treatment based on the specifics of your situation.

How are you managing the side effects?
