Got a call from the clinic to see Dr Daniel yesterday. I was told that the ALK mutation tests turned out negative which means that I will not be able to take the targetted drug XALKORI.
So chemo remains the only option but this time on a different drug called TAXOTERE. Side effects will be severe, such as hair loss, numbness of fingers, fatigue ...
Question is when to recommence my chemo. Doc says it's ok to take a chemo break till after CNY. So we agreed to start again on 19 Feb. Have to take a CT scan as well.
So God help me.
