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.

I was originally told that my next line of treatment would be
Alimta
maintenance but apparently the new NICE guidelines does not allow this treatment unless you have previously undergone Cisplatin/
Alimta
, I had Cisplatin/Navorabine.

Is there anyone out there?
The nurse also said that after the four rounds of chemo and a CT scan that they will put me on
Alimta
maintenance. Is anyone currently on it and if so what does it involve and more importantly what are the side effects. Hope all you lovely special people are enjoying the sunshine.

Chemotherapy & Joint Stiffness
After having been on Iressa for 7 months, I have now switched to a Carboplatin/
Alimta
regime every 3 weeks. Although I had a little bit of joint stiffness in my fingers prior to Chemo, which I put down to advancing years, it has become really bad since going onto to the IV chemo.

Just a quick update
So we decided that depending on how much more progression I had would tell us when I needed to start IV chemo and then we would decide whether I went on maintenance (
Alimta
) for a while or started Tarceva or clinical trial (Afatinib or chemo).

Not the news I wanted to hear :((
There is the IMPRESS trial looking at whether to completely switch to doublet chemotherapy (carboplaitin/
Alimta
or cisplatin/
Alimta
) or whether to continue with the Iressa plus the doublet chemo. Evidence is saying keep with both as it is only a % of the cancer cells that have become resistant.
