* Pemetrexed (Alimta) 500mg/m\^2 administered intravenously over approximately 10-minutes on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle x3 cycles * Radiation will start between days -1 to 2 from day 1 of cycle 1. Day 1 radiotherapy must be a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The planned radiation dose is 60 Gy in 2.0 Gy fractions. The entire PTV, including primary tumor and areas of known nodal disease, shall receive 60 Gy at 2.0 Gy fractions, 5 fractions/week for 30 fractions over 6 weeks. Pemetrexed: Pemetrexed(Alimta) 500mg/m2 administered intravenously over approximately 10-minutes on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle x 3 cycles Radiation Therapy: Radiation will start between days -1 to 2 from day 1 of cycle 1. Day 1 radiotherapy must be a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The planned radiation dose is 60 Gy in 2.0 Gy fractions. The entire PTV, including primary tumor and areas of known nodal disease, shall receive 60 Gy at 2.0 Gy fractions, 5 fractions/week for 30 fractions over 6 weeks.
