  1. I am just new to this site. My name is Noelle and I was diagnosed with NSCLC April '07 - Adenocarcinoma IIIB wet (meaning pleural effusion with cancer cells found in fluid). Tumor is inoperable. My treatment has been as follows: April '07 to September '07 - Carbo/Taxol/Avastin September 12 '07 - CAT scan shows tumor reduced 75% October '07 to February '08 - Avastin only February 29, 2008 - new symptoms coughing, and pain in back and chest (intermittant), difficulty breathing. March 4, 2008 - CAT scan revealed tumor growth and fluid around right lung. Fluid drained and pre-treated with B-12 shot, Decadron (day before, day of, day after Alimta infusion scheduled for 3/11/08) March 11, 2008 - 1st Alimta treatment. March 24, 2008 - coughing and pain has diminished. It feels like the Alimta is working.
  2. Barbaara Ellen, It's so good to find you here! I was so saddened when you disappeared from the other site. I wanted to let you know that I have had my first Alimta treatment 3/11 and it appears to be going well. With your history of Bill you gave me such hope. It's easier to continue with more treatments when you have inspiration from others like yourself. How is everything going for Bill? You are my Easter present! Take care, Noelle
