sharyn Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 TAnn, Sorry about the latest setback, but your doctor sounds so pro-active, he is not leaving any stone unturned which is such a good thing.... You have my prayers as always.... Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieD Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Terri, I'm late responding too. Been pre-occupied with company visiting and fishing. That Alimta sure reacts totally different to some people. I didn't have any rash or lose any hair that I know about since I've kept mine shaved off since the last Chemo. I did have extreme fatigue and SOB, especially after the 5th and 6th treatment. It's been two months since my last Alimta treatment and the SOB has slowly diminished. I'm finally able to continue my normal 2 mile walk every day as well as play golf and fishing. As you know, I think the Decadron had a lot to do with the side effects and I've been off the steroids over six weeks. Sure hope and pray that things start going better for you soon. Like you said, all the crap they have been putting into your body, you just don't know which one is causing what. Keep fighting, things will be getting better soon. God Bless.

Maryanne Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Tann, I Ditto Don's post before mine. I am thinking of you and praying for positive changes. I wish I had the power to make you feel better. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 T~~ I'm just now finding this post...but please know all my best thoughts and vibes are headed your way. Hoping those liver values come down quickly so you can have the next Alimta. And hoping too, that the rash clears. Bad enough to be on chemo, eh...without being polka-dotted and itchy. Keep us posted, okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
