Carboplatin Alimta and Keytruda Treatment: What's your experience?

I started with Carbo and Taxol for 5 rounds, then ended up having to do a second round due to spreading to breast (I have NSCLC stage IV) which was the Carbo and Alimta. I handled it all very well, my hair thinned a litte and was tired the first couple days after my infusion. Now during my 9th treatment I had a bad allergic reaction to the Carbo. So we stopped. My Dr's told me that the allergic reaction happens to many normally rounds 7-10. I am currently on Alimta and Keytruda now. Best of luck to you!

Holy Cow! You are one tough cookie. I also have NSCLC stage IV. I am so glad to hear that you tolerated it very well. I know everyone is differnet but I am praying that my body tolerates this treatment as well. How long will you be on the Alimta and Keytruda? Are your scans showing results. One last question. So the couple days after your treatment did you feel normal? Did you have energy and could you eat? Thank you so much for your response. It truly makes me feel a little better about this upcoming treatment!
