I've been diagnosed back in April with NSCLC (ALK Positive) currently on Alectinib. I wish to find out from other individuals with a similar condition how they are coping with this treatment. Thank you.

Hi Rockape117, I am ALK Positive too and there’s a great ALK support group on Facebook one for the U.K. and a Worldwide one too. It offers amazing support for what’s happening in the U.K. and also what’s happening worldwide. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and am currently on crizotinib. If you look at my previous posts they are mostly about ALK. Here’s the link alkpositive.org.uk
