It saved my life for more than 2 years now, my CEA level dropped from 40 to 5,8. It gives me hope and cannot thank the team who invented it enough, thank you soooo much!

I have been on Xalkori for 39 months for stage IV lung cancer. I have experienced a few side effects. I did have vision problems, some nausea and constipation at first. Now those are just about normal. The only problem I am having now is lymphedemia of my legs. I'm very happy that Xalkori is suppressing my cancer.

I have been on this for almost 2 1/2 years. I did initially have trouble with diarrhea but that has gotten better with time. I do have a very slow heart rate but can manage that ok. I have Edema in my feet and ankles (one side more than the other.) my vision has actually improved for some reason.

Comment from: RAB50 55-64 Female 6 months to less than 1 year Patient Published: August 01

I've been on Xalkori for 8 months. This is the 5th and by far the easiest treatment I've been on since being diagnosed with Stage IV cancer 26 months ago. I really can't identify a side effect and feel good most of the time. I'm regaining some strength and have even gained some weight. And I've had great results. The last CT scan showed all of my lymph nodes are normal in size, the pleural effusion is very small and the cancer in the lung has decreased. I couldn't be happier! I'm just praying that I can take it for a long time.

After six months, I have shown "significant improvement" in both lungs, have no shortness of breath and much more energy -- all without side effects! Certainly the easiest chemo ever, and by far the most effective that I've had in more than seven years!

i have experienced nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances; sometimes seeing dark images out of the corner of my eye and when going from a dark room to a lit one. i am pleased that xalkori has reduced the size of a lymph node on the bronchus of the right lung and so far has kept the cancer from spreading elsewhere. i realize this is not a cure, but if it keeps the cancer stabilized in the right lung, i will be very happy.
