Alimta Side Effects

Discussion Topic
Stage IV NSCLC

Hi, My mother is currently on Alimta infusions ( 4th dosage), Her primary side effect since the start was severe nerve pain, which was under control with Lyrica. Since the last cycle, the pain is now is the stomach, severe pain and unable to eat any food, combined with Fatigue is getting unmanageable. The oncologist tried a few different medications for the stomach pain (dicyclomine + paracetamol) and gas medications, but no relief. Looking for any recommendations that might  help ease the pain and weight loss. Thank you in advance.
