I wish you the best with your treatments. I have been reading your updates and about your treatment plan. When I read about your fainting, I also thought about your blood pressure. Ive been struggling with mine being super low since losing more weight (it runs 76 over 52 now). The docs said when someone rapidly loses alot of weight that they can get low blood pressure. Be very carful when standing up, do it very slowly.
Ive also had to go thru those awful compazine suppositories. Those sure arent fun. Zofran for me works very well for the nasuea, as long as it was taken early enough.
Keep your great attitude, thats a big help in getting thru this awful fight. You are in my prayers.
