How did you find out you were ALK positive? It’s not obvious from looking at the report. Which TKI are you taking? I’m on Medicare so some of the “programs” may not apply to me. Thanks!!!

All I know right now is that it's an adenocarcinoma LUL. I don't know what those initials mean

@whahoo, I first heard from my oncologist that I was ALK positive. I knew I had blood/liquid biopsy with an outside lab, FoundationOne. I followed up with them directly, and received a copy of the full report.
I take a TKI that is specific to ALK, it’s called alectinib. I’ve had some side effects, but I’m managing well, and I’m thankful for each day.
