Don Wood Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Lucie had her first Alimta IV just over two weeks ago. The first week was a breeze, but the end of the second week has brought much nausea. We have learned to successfully counteract that at soon as it starts with medication and a snack. She is also very tired. Other that that, we are doing most of what we want to do in moderation. She will have the second round of Alimta this coming Friday.

nikkala Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Sending many prayers that the nausea will end very soon and the next round will be easier. That Lucie is one tough cookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 You guys are just an AWESOME couple! You take the hand you are dealt and play those cards as best you can. Here's hoping that Alimta becomes a more gentle ally. Lucy is one strong woman, and Don, you ARE the ultimate caregiver.....both my heroes!

Patkid Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Brian was not on Alimta long enough for me to learn anything helpful. I think that you and Lucie excel at managing side effects.

shineladysue Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Don, You give Lucie a hug for me and tell her she is truly an inspiration to so many. Alimta seems notorious for fatigue. Glad you are able to control her nausea and I hope you can continue to work around the fatigue. Most of all, I pray that it is kicking some cancer butt. God Bless you both.
