Hi!, A lot has happened, I’ve found that I’m ALK positive, and started taking oral alectinib on Saturday. I had additional scans done on Friday, and compared to those taken in March, things are progressing. I’ve been hanging in there while the symptoms were progressing too. So, I’m excited to get started with treatment and get things headed in the right direction. Take care!, and have a good week.

@janlanderz Mayo Clinic is now safely treating patients whose care may have been deferred and seeing new patients. Is it possible that regular cancer care is opening back up slowly in Ontario too. I know Canada has been successful in avoiding the stress of COVID cases in the hospital systems. Have you been contacted recently to resume treatment?
