Hi Elsie, sorry for late reply still getting use to this site, my husband Neil was diagnosed in may 2011 at the age of 50, have been doing chemo since then, cisplatin & alimta was the first combinations, that had to stop after his body reacted to it in Dec 2012, we have had 4 months off, August this year had CT Scan & the rotten thing has come back again, so we have doing another chemo cocktail of carboplatin & alimta ( 1 dose every 3 weeks for 6 sessions) we have had 3rd session now,CTScans are done, so off to oncologist on Wednesday to see if it's working xxxx glad you made contact with me xxxxx
