Husband about to start crizotinib.Worried about side effects,infections etc
Hello all. My husband is just about to start oral crizotinib (just found out he's ALK positive). We are wondering how manageable it will be long term (we know everyone reacts differently) - for example, what side effects have any of you had and how have you coped with them? Steve's had 3 lots of chemo
