I mostly just deal with sensitive stomach issues. I would love to hear from you.

Have good hopes and happy thoughts. I am also on Xalkori but I don't experience the major side effects that you mentioned, only the Christmas lights. I am on the medicine for 2 weeks now. I also have 4 young children from 10 to 4 yrs. I think I would love to correspond or just follow your blogs regularly. Seems like we are in very similar situations! Live life happy.<br />Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16194939.post-45452461184901932972014-06-12T20:05:17.703-04:002014-06-12T20:05:17.703-04:00My experience with Crizotinib has been similar, na...My experience with Crizotinib has been similar, nausea, Gastro issues and epic fatigue and taste issues. I have been on it a month now, and am hoping these things will settle a bit. I often wonder how long it will continue to work... it has done quite a bit of good already. I guess we are all in the same boat! Yay us!

She fought it bravely, but it metastasized quickly. Anyway, I wanted to ask if you had ever tried eating french fries from Wendy's? My sister couldn't get enough of them. And a lot of other patients said the same. Not sure if it's the grease they use, or what, but she loved them! God Bless you and your family, and Merry Christmas!Cathryn Hasekhttp://www.cathrynhasek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16194939.post-47829813459592441332013-12-20T01:59:09.880-05:002013-12-20T01:59:09.880-05:00Good point, Kari.
