Ok, so it's back, had to have a node removed from my neck again, positive...Now I'm in the whirlwind of tests etc. The doc's are starting rads and chemo (5-FU and Cisplatin) on the 13th of July...my question is why do I have to be inpatient for the 5-FU, doc said that its infused over 96hrs. and that I need to be there for that. Isnt there an infusion pump or something, I'll be at the hosp every day for rad's anyway! A bit of help here would be appreciated
