He has yet to try the standard Alimta/Cisplatin combination, which I am aware has a different regime. That said, the side effects appear to be similar, so I'm glad you have found some comfort in sharing our experience. <br /><br />However, everyone reacts slightly differently, so go with the flow. Make the most of the good days and take it easy on those days when fatigue and nausea dominate. <br /><br />And don't be afraid to seek help for nausea/sickness - ask to try different anti-sickness medication, if needed! <br /><br />Thinking of you both. Chemo isn't an easy journey, but it doesn't go on forever. Stay positive :-)<br /><br />Linda and Steve xLinda Wridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489916606266253830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471327104506921911.post-62336797905616448422012-01-27T00:43:41.368+00:002012-01-27T00:43:41.368+00:00Hi Linda.

As my husband is now into his first treatment of chemo for mesothelioma (cisplatin and alimta) I have taken to re-reading your blog entries from 2009 when your Steve went through his chemo. It doesn't make this whole experience any easier but its comforting to read how others have coped during the long treatment periods. The month since diagnosis is now a blur of appointments, scans and information. We're settling in for the ride now. Take care and continue to enjoy life.
