pemetrexed and carboplatin pembrolizumab side effects

Posted by chedder2008 @chedder2008, 5 days ago

Hello, My husband is due to start his first treatment of pemetrexed and carboplatin pembrolizumab. I was wondering the side effects and anything that I can do to help lesson.

I'm still figuring it out. This next cycle I'm going to do it through chemo as I have been waiting until the stool is hard lumps. Like type #1 or 2 on the Bristol Stool Scale. That's been too late. I'll try to remember to let you know how this round goes. Chemo number 4 starts on Wednesday.

Thanks so much. My husband seems to be constipated in general despite lots of fiber and water So I’m thinking I will just give it to him and see how it goes. I hope your treatment goes well on Wednesday.
