Alimta maintenance with Tagrisso

[Stephanie2024]

Has anyone been on Alimta maintenance while taking Tagrisso? I completed 4 cycles of Carboplatin/Alimta chemo last April and continued with Tagrisso. So far disease is “stable” but latest scan is showing higher metabolic activity across bone meta and primary lung though size has not changed. There may be one new spot but it’s possible that it was there before. One oncologist recommended adding Alimta maintenance every 4 weeks while continuing Tagrisso. Does anyone have experience with Alimta maintenance? How are the side effects? Does it help control the tumor activity when Tagrisso doesn’t seem to do the full job? Thank you!
