StrahDawg Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Went yesterday for my 3 month ct scan and according to the nurse practitioner chest/pelvis were clear and the spots on my lower spine showed no change. So i feel pretty good, again it's unofficial because the radiologist hasn't ok'd them but she felt confident in her opinion. The alimta treatments have been going pretty well with minimum side effects I go once every 3 weeks and have had no hair loss and a little fatigue for about 2 days and than I'm pretty much back to normal. I also have been receiving the zometa treatments every 6 weeks and that has been pretty tolerable as well, my back does hurt still a little but over the counter aleve once a day has been doing the trick.

shineladysue Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Steve, It''s good to hear from you. It sounds like you are tolerating the Alimta pretty well at this point and even more than that, it sounds like it's doing a good job for you. Keep those good reports coming. Hugs, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
