My husband has metastatic lung cancer and has been on Xalkori. The drug appears to be working (the cancer has not spread anymore). I am looking to hear stories about other people's experience using the drug.

I started on 10/31/11. By the end of December I was a new woman. Now I feel like I used to, almost absolutely normal.

Thank you, yes, Zofran is the only anti-nauseau drug that my system seems to tolerate well and it is the only drug that stops the "getting sick" - so thankful for the Zofran. How long have you been on Xalkori?

Hang in there. It takes a while for it to take hold. Are you taking Zofran for nausea?

I had lung cancer in 2008, surgery followed by chemo/radiation. Now in 2012, it just returned. I started taking Xalkori about 3 weeks ago and feel horrible...weak, nausea, etc. I found an anti-nausea medication that has helped. But still very weak and I get winded very easily. Any insight others could share would be helpful.

My mother started Zalkori 6 days ago. It has really knocked her down quite a bit. Lots of stomach upset and she is very week. Just hoping that she can adjust to the meds enough to let it do its job.

I started on Xalkori last fall. I am feeling better than I have in 3-1/2 years. My shortness of breath has been almost entirely eliminated. I feel my energy and motivation coming back.

Very glad to read that it's working for him.

However, it seems you're the first person that's posted on our site about this medication.

We do have a monograph page for it here:

Is he experiencing any side effects?
