Not sure if this answers your question at all, but I’ve been taking Crizotinib (Xalkori), also a ‘targeted therapy’ for 3 months with remarkable tumor decrease in my stage 4 lungs. Minimal side effects. Best wishes to you on your new journey.
Its worked so far for me. No new mets and lung tumours under control. All the trials show good results. And what a blessing that we have a targeted therapy and do not have to get chemo.

@2onlow8- Well that's easy! I have what is called Multifocal Adenocarcinoma of the lungs and am not a candidate for targeted therapy as yet. I'm 4 A.
Xalkori is a once daily capsule.
