Beth,
Keeping my eye on you. Sounds like overall you are doing well with the Alimta. Will be saying lots of prayers for you and will be anxiously waiting for the scans on the 11th. Mike just got his 6th Alimta treatment Monday. He will get scans on the 18th and get the results on the 25th. If the treatment is working , his onc will say continue and he will. Over all, his tolerance has been pretty good. He does get tired , but he says he can handle it if that's all that happens. Keep up your wonderful sense of humor and the great fighting spirit. Let your weight be the least of your worries. I am overweight and don't have anything to blame ... no steroids or anything, just my own lack of discipline. Just know your Virginia buddies are keeping our eye on you...
Love, Sue and Mike
