Navigating the uncharted waters of a cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming and daunting task for patients and care partners alike. ALK 101 is a five part series that seeks to provide the information necessary to make you an informed partner in your cancer care. The ALK 101 series was created to serve as a guide to educate and empower patients and care partners through all phases of cancer.
Part 1: I’ve Just Been Diagnosed with ALK Positive Lung Cancer discusses receiving an ALK Positive diagnosis- what that means and what critical steps are necessary to ensure best possible outcomes.
Part 2: Assembling and Managing Your Health Care Team will explore the key players required to have a well rounded care team during all phases of your cancer journey.
Part 3: Cancer Lingo: What Does It All Mean?! will serve as a guide for learning and understanding the terminology necessary to communicate effectively with your health care team and make informed decisions in your care.
Part 4: I've Progressed, Now What?! will review types of progression and key steps necessary to make informed decisions during this frightening phase of cancer.
Part 5: Life After Lorlatinib will examine treatment options available after all FDA approved TKI’s are exhausted, where to find these options and what this care might look like.

In the summer of 2017 at age 55, I was diagnosed with ALK+, stage 4, NSCLC. I went through Alecensa for a year and a half. I should be dead 4 years ago, but a month before my heart stopped due to excess fluid in the cardio window, my oncologist put me on Keytruda. It was a miracle. However, half a year ago, I went back to take Alecensa. The second time around is effective so far in shrinking a few persistent nodes. Unbelievably, the cancer came up 3 times and shank 3 times so far in my life.
My father has been diagnosed with the same.....what is alecensa.....reply plz
Alecensa is another name for Alectinib.
Sorry, too much time spent on introductions!! Get to the answers….
