I was recently diagnosed with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer and started taking Alecensa 150mg capsules. The medication is supposed to block the abnormal ALK gene and slow down the growth of cancer cells. I've heard that it can have some serious side effects, so I'm documenting my experience and looking for insights from others who have been on this journey. What has your experience been like with Alecensa? Any tips for managing side effects?
