For Non Small Cell Lung Cancer "Just finished my 30th cycle today, and overall my side effects have been very tolerable. I have stage 4 bladder cancer and was originally given 3 months of life expectancy. This diagnosis was from the Mayo Clinic. After initial treatments of radiation and 7 or 8 cycles of carboplatin and Gemzar (not sure of chemo spelling). I have been on Alimta ever since with little to no further cancer growth. Overall 2 years and 4 months since treatment began. To say I'm happy is an understatement!!!"

Pemetrexed for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer "My 81 y/o mother received 6 infusions of Alimta for non-small cell lung cancer. Her cancer has now shrunk. No new cancers. The most severe side effect she suffered was fatigue and water retention. But that was managed by a change in her diuretic medications."
