I've read where a few people are on Alimta (Premextrend - not sure of spelling). Just wondering if you were getting this drug through a local medical oncology office or if it is only given in a big cancer center. Thanks alot. Any results with this drug i.e. stopping growth? Any help you can give would be appreciated.

    Antcat, my mom has been receiving Alimta for about a month now. She gets hers at her local Oncology office. Again, she has only been on it for about 1 month. Pretty much has wiped her out. No appetite, but is now taking some form of a medication to help increase her appetite. Best of luck with it.
