Steph74 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I haven't read anyone's posts on success with this chemo? Concerned, since my mom is on it, and she doesn't seem to be getting any better either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j ross Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Barry had six rounds beginning summer 06. The cancer shrunk significantly. Progression noted June this year. Back on Alimta (with avastin). Four rounds more fatique this time. Scan in next week or so. Good luck Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacelover Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 My mom took Almita when it was still in the FDA trial studies. It worked great for her. It was kinda scary for us because it did not have any of the other side effects that the other chemos did and actually made her hungry...we thought there was no way it could be working...it did! She saw complete halt and srinkage of her primary tumor and 3 smaller ones she has vanished altogether. Her doc took her off of it and her tumor activity is still stable..non new growth...almost like they are in a holding pattern or something. I hope your mom sees the same postive result!

bam451 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi Steph! My mom was on Alimpta from June-Oct '07. It didnt do as much for my mom as I had hped it would, but it did keep her stable.. no progression at all until October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
