Hey, Trev,

My husband is several days past his 2nd cisplatin/5fu/taxotere combo and has not had any tinnitus or extreme nausea. He did get nausea and mouth sores after the first round but then he got on a fentanyl pain patch, a couple of things for nausea including lorazapam, and meds for thrush and mouth sores. The second round seems to actually be easier than the first round. Another thing we have really focused on this round is hydration. He has been drinking as much water as he can and I have been giving him extra in his peg. I am very appreciative that folks on this board warned people to watch out for ear ringing, etc. as we might have viewed some side effects as transient.

Sophie
