Hi @loriwt!, Welcome to Connect. I don't have RET, but I do have ALK, another of the gene mutations. I also take a targeted therapy, Alectinib. I was diagnosed in early 2020, and I'm still on the same medication. I'm glad that these medications keep progressing, I really believe that I wouldn't be here without it.
Has the Retevmo controlled or reduced the tumor/s? Are the side effects manageable for you?

Thank you! It's so hopeful and encouraging to hear you're still doing well on your treatment. I am very thankful for the research that has been and continues to be done to help people like us.

The Retevmo has shrunk all tumors and the side effects are very minimal so far.
