My Story
ALK+ is a type of genetic mutation driven cancer. There is no known cause, it affects those who have never smoked and it is currently thought to be incurable. The vast majority of ALK+ patients have lung cancer and it occurs in approximately 30% of lung cancer patients under the age of 40.
One of my children was diagnosed with ALK+ lung cancer with secondary bone cancer in November 2023.
Recent progress with research is creating alternatives to chemotherapy, improving patients' quality and often length, of life.
