I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in June 2024. I’ve been receiving treatment every three weeks with carboplatin, Alimta and Keytruda, as well as Zometa to strengthen my bones, since the cancer had spread to the bones.
We dropped the carboplatin and sometimes I have to skip the Alimta because if kidney issues and of anemia. I’m one of the lucky ones with very few negative side effects.
We’ve dropped the Zometa too as I developed osteo-necrosis of the jaw bone… which is potentially horrific, but I’m not going into details here. I’m hoping it clears up with the prescription mouthwash I have. We caught it early, so fingers crossed. So far I’ve been mostly grateful that the side effects are minor and the drugs seem
to be working for now.
