I originally had 3 rounds of Cisplatin and Gemzar which really did a number on the Cancer (I was diagnosed NSCLC Squamous of Lung with met to brain). I had cyberknife for the one brain mass (that worked great).. I struggled with hearing impairment from the Cisplatin so they switched me to Carboplatin. After 3 rounds of Carbo and gemzar they said they felt I had gotten the most I was going to get from that chemo so am now on Avastin and Alimta. I have only had one treatment of the Alimta so, no real progress to report yet. I get my second treatment next week. I understand about a week later they will do a CAT scan to see how things progress. I will keep you posted.
I hear wonderful things about Tarceva. I was told I can't take Tarceva while on the Alimta as this would interfere with the Chemo..
God Bless all of you.. and remember, PRAYER WORKS..Pray for your health, others health and your Dr's wisdom..
Blessings,
Lisa
