It’s Alimta and Keytruda for now. Not sure for how many treatments. I may eventually qualify for a clinical trial later this summer. I forgot to mention look out for dehydration, take it easy in warm weather and drink lots of water. I am not a medical professional, wasn’t really aware of it and the dehydration snuck up on me.

The Carboplatin, Alimta and Keytruda is the treatment regimen for ncsls stage IV that I began just yesterday and so far s good! I am not sure how many rounds I will be getting until after my next CT/PET scan.
I am curious to know what clinical trial you may be able to participate in. We have just started to look for clinical trials for this situation. Any guidance or names of trials that you may know would be appreciated and helpful and I start this new journey.
Thanks for sharing your experience and tips for tolerating this treatment.
