Chris I hope you get to feeling better soon. My husband is almost exactly on the same schedule and diagnosis as you are. He even had his surgery on Dec. 29 also. He began Cisplatin and radiation on Tuesday, Feb. 9. He did great on Day 1 (Feb.9) but has gone downhill since. Today has been his worst day with nausea. Had Emend, decatron (steroid), is still taking Zofran every 8 hrs. and also Ativan when needed. Do you know when this nausea will subside? I wish some of the other nice folks on this board would let us know.
Good luck this week,
Debbie
