Today is World Radiography Day. Thank you to every radiographer who scans, treats and cares for people with #lungcancer.

In our survey of 180 people in the UK with ALK+ lung cancer, 1 in 3 have had radiotherapy, most often to the lungs, brain and bones.

Could alectinib be used before surgery for ALK+ #lungcancer?

In the phase 2 NAUTIKA1 study, 55.8% had a major pathological response after 8 weeks of alectinib before surgery.

It’s early research, but an interesting new direction for ALK+ treatment.

Scotland has confirmed routine NHS access to lorlatinib after previous ALK+ lung cancer treatment.

It had been available on an interim basis since 2020. Following reassessment and further evidence, that access is now routine.

New research is helping us understand why ALK targeted treatments can stop working.

In 148 people with ALK+ #lungcancer, researchers identified changes in the RAS pathway as one possible route of resistance.

An important clue for future research.

Cancer is a system failure. My response: I grabbed a mechanical pencil and became the Observer. Read about the day I chose curiosity over fear, moving from Patient to Walking Observation Lab.

For the first 8-9 months post cancer diagnosis, I was fighting from scan to scan, and the fear of progression was exhausting. I realized that fighting was keeping me from living. I made a conscious decision to change my goal from fighting to co-existence.

1 year ago, a 10cm mass was collapsing my airway. Today, my scans show it's gone.

I am overcome with humility. This isn't about me; it's about the Architects of Stability in science whose thankless work made this possible.

The Architects of Stability: A One-Year Reflection on Science and Gratitude
My one-year scans just came in. The results are not a personal victory, but a testament to the vast, unseen system of human ingenuity that made them possible.

This is an interesting article to read. With my cancer diagnosis last year, I couldn't figure out why my otherwise healthy body would attack itself in this fashion. Thanks to more targeted therapy coming out, there is hope to suppress and manage these types of cancer growths. #Cancer #ALKPositive

Oh yeah. And today was my last session of radiation on my shoulder. I'm super excited to take my cancer meds regularly again starting tomorrow. Scans next week for my 18 week check up. Crossing my fingers for continued positive response to the medication. #ALKPositive #LungCancer

I had an appointment with my oncologist to go over my 12 week scans. He said the cancer spots are either stable, shrinking, and some smaller spots have even disappeared. My numbers look good and I'm tolerating the medication fine. Good day today. #CancerSky #ALKPositive #LungCancer

This is how I found out I have stage 4 lung cancer in October of this year. All of the symptoms of allergies and breathing issues, then loss of voice, then chronic lung pain. There needs to be more screening widely available for everyone to catch this early and treat. #LCAM #ALKPositive

I'm not on the group on FB, but I'll have to look it up. The ALKpositive site was one of the first ones I came across when my Tempus came back with the mutation. I've been enjoying watching some of the talks they have and it's been really fascinating.
