Members shared their experiences with carboplatin, Keytruda, and Alimta treatment in response to someone feeling anxious about starting this combination before a planned lobectomy for stage 3 lung cancer. Several members who completed the same regimen offered reassurance, noting that the first infusion was the hardest and subsequent rounds were more manageable, with one member sharing they stayed in remission for over 8 years. A recurring theme was staying as active as possible, using antiemetics proactively, and leaning on the community for encouragement and prayer.
