Non small cell adenoma carcinoma
I started off with carboplatin and alimta for 2 months, then switched to
Xalkori
for 7 months, Zykadia for 5 months and then back on Alimta every 3 weeks for a year. After all that, my cancer was inactive and only scar tissue showed wherever my cancer was.

Crizotinib as a first line treatment for ALK+ patients
We are pleased that crizotinib (
xalkori
) has been approved by NICE for use with a sub-group of people affected by lung cancer. It had previously been approved for use in Scotland by the Scottish Medicine Consorium (SMC). This is a new treatment for a small group of patients with ALK+ tumours.

Crizotinib (Xalkori)
Have you been prescribed crizotinib? We are looking for patient experiences for crizotinib, if you can help you can post here or private message me. This is so we can make a drug submission to the medicines consortium. As a charity our submissions need to include as much patient experience of the drug
