Carboplatin/Alimta didn't work
He has just received the news that after four cycles of Carboplatin/
Alimta
nothing has reduced - in fact there has been a little progression....

Update: Change of treatment again
I have now started chemo - carboplatin/
alimta
. I'm hanging in there, but these first days ain't no picnic. Love you all. One of these days I'll be able to write again... I've discovered that it's very hard to focus on anything when I feel bad. Even my knitting time has been on the decline!

Non small cell adenoma carcinoma
I started off with carboplatin and
alimta
for 2 months, then switched to Xalkori for 7 months, Zykadia for 5 months and then back on
Alimta
every 3 weeks for a year. After all that, my cancer was inactive and only scar tissue showed wherever my cancer was.

Dizzy!!
I am on Carbo and
Alimta
every 3 weeks. I am extremely dizzy. Been to dr. Thought I had ear infection but he said no. It's to the point that I get so dizzy I'm afraid to drive. Anyone have this experience?

GI issues or celiac as complication of longterm chemotherapy?
I've been off the grid all of June dealing with chronic diarhea while living with stage four NSCLC adenocarcinoma (stable) with pemetrexed (
Alimta
) treatment every three weeks. I was hospitalized for 6 days, yet every test has failed to find a cause.

Good Response with Cyramza/Taxotere
I had had progression after carbo/
alimta
and
alimta
maintenance so I am cautiously optimistic that I can stay the course and reach NED with this treatment. Managing the mouth/tongue/throat sores, GERD, hair loss and fatigue but so far, not as bad as the rounds of carbo/
alimta
were.

Cyramza/Taxotere
This is the second line treatment for me after progression on
Alimta
maintenance. We will scan in 2+ weeks to see how this treatment is working but so far so good!

Update "next plan"
This will now be harder than carboplatin and
alimta
. Really scared...... they say I will lose my hair just when it finally came back. Plus a host of other side effects. I will need the neulasta shot after 2days of treatment to keep immune system up.

Bad Side Effects from Chemo
Hi Ya'll, My dad just turned 89 and started his Chemo treatment of Carboplatin &
Alimta
in January, every 3 weeks, for NSCLC. He just had his 3rd treatment this past Monday; the Dr. did lower this dose because of the side effects.

My treatment has only been chemo from the start, and I have responded well to
Alimta
, for which I am very grateful.

2nd recurrence. 4 chemo combos all failed. Any suggestions?
Onco suggested
Alimta
or Abraxane. I have been disappointed so much. I am soooo very tired. Last week the CA125 dropped 20 points which meant perhaps the 1st carbo/taxol worked but whats the point now I can't do taxol anymore. Is there any suggestions on what to do next.

I am due to start four sessions of taxotere after cisplatin and
alimta
failed. Does essiac tea and vitamin c make any difference?

Help about proposed treatment for NSC Lung Cancer
Hi everyone I saw the medical oncologist yesterday for the first time and he is proposing a course of Cisplatin & Pemetrexed (
Alimta
) combined. Then, if this is successful at stopping the spread/growth then Alimata every 3 weeks 'maintenance' for the foreseeable future.
