I’ve been on Alectinib for about 10 months. Initially I was very ill with it but things have calmed down. I have swollen red ankles. Recently I’ve developed an irritating niggly cough. I don’t know if I should be concerned about it
has anyone else had this?
Hello Musicmaker,
I am sorry to see that you have had a diagnosis of lung cancer and are being treated with alectinib. I am glad that things have calmed down a bit and you are not feeling so ill.
I would advise you to contact your CNS/doctor regarding the niggly cough, if only for a bit of reassurance. It is always best to get things checked, even if others have experienced it.
