you're right, laptops help when you're spending the day in the IV room. Glad to hear the infection cleared up and that you've started your treatments. Delays are nerve wracking. Drink 2-3 quarts of water daily, use your PEG tube if you need to, but the fluids really helped Jack combat nausea following chemo. He had some thru his port in addition to by mouth and the PEG. He also used his anti-nausea medications every day. This too shall pass...what kind of chemo are you getting? Jack is 3 months post radiation and just had his PEG tube removed last week - he thinks it was a lifesaver during treatments. Hope everything goes well for you. Regards JoAnne
