My mom is on Alimta right now. She's had 3 infusions and gets her scan results tomorrow. My mom's side effects are similar to Patti's, plus a dull headache for a few days after treatment. The infusion is short - usually an hour or less - unlike the Carbo/Taxol which was 5 hours. Along with the folic acid and B12 shot, she also takes steroids the day before, of, and after chemo. Here's hoping the Alimta is the magic bullet for Michael! Keep us posted.
Hugs,
Lisa
