I recently started treatment with Pemetrexed 100mg/4ml Inj 4ml for my mesothelioma. I'm looking to connect with others who have experience with this drug, particularly about managing side effects. I've heard a lot about the potential for severe reactions, but I'm also curious about the common ones, like fatigue and hair loss, and how others have coped. Does anyone have tips for dealing with these side effects? Also, I'm interested in hearing about any lesser-known side effects that I might not be prepared for. What has your experience been like?

I just started Pemetrexed as part of my treatment plan for non-small cell lung cancer. I'm really curious about other people's experiences with this chemo. I had my first infusion a few days ago, and while I haven't experienced any severe side effects yet, I am feeling pretty fatigued and my mouth is quite irritated. I know everyone is different, but I wonder how other people coped with the initial treatment? Did anyone else experience these early side effects? And how did your doctors manage them? Keep in mind, I am not a doctor, so I do not know the complete ins and outs of Pemetrexed. I just want to hear some stories so I can prepare myself for the future treatments.
