Being treated with Alimta for Stage 4 NSCLC
I would like to know if anyone else has been treated with Alimta and what their experience with it has been.
Any input will be helpful.

Hello -- I just finished an 18 week of alimta and cisplatin - six treatments every 3 weeks. I did absolutely fine - every week after chemo was rough - very tired - and towards the end of treatment I had neuropathy in my hands and feet, but nothing I could not tolerate. I also just finished yesterday 8 weeks of radiation. I am feeling great. Good luck to you -0 -

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your reply. It's good to hear you are feeling so good. I have had unusual reactions to other chemo treatments-side effects not seen by my onocolgist before. He's at the Cleveland Clinic so you know he's seen quite a bit.
Let me know how your next scan is. I wish you well!
