Update November 2023 (Jade) - Thank you everyone for your support so far, it means so much to us all! I'm grateful to be doing well thanks to Brigatinib, ALK Positive UK, the NHS and wonderful friends and family.

After an ongoing cough and eventually wheezing and shortness of breath, Jade, was diagnosed with stage IV ALK Positive lung cancer in April 2022. As a healthy never-smoker, aged just 29, this came as a huge shock to us all.

We quickly found support and a huge source of knowledge in ALK Positive UK, who support, empower and advocate for ALK Positive lung cancer patients and their families. The charity and its community has helped us to approach the future with a positive mindset.

Jade is currently receiving targeted therapy treatment, Brigatinib (a TKI), in the form of a tablet taken once a day. This has meant that she has been able to continue enjoying life to the full, including holidays and spending plenty of time outdoors!

As ALK Positive UK continue to provide support to ALK Positive lung cancer patients and their families, we are keen to challenge ourselves to raise as much money as possible to support them to continue their brilliant work.
