My husband has stage 3 lung cancer, he went through radiation and chemo last year and had a very rough time with it. It did though seem to work and he was on the up side when they found a little more activity in his adenodes and decided to try maintance chemo (alimta) My question for all you brave souls is have any of you done alitma and did you have side effects. The doctor said most people do not have trouble with this chemo but it is putting him down for 4 to 5 days. Any suggestions will help Thank You!!
