Jerry,
It has been a fairly easy week. I am taking Nexium, Ativan (limited amount), and I will have another cisplatin treatment tomorrow. They will give me steroids (maybe & probably) again,
and Zofran IV. This really does minimize nausea although I will surely be wired again. I also have at home prescriptions of Zofran and their MD Anderson cocktail of ativan, benadryl, and haldol, which really did work with the Zofran already in my system.

I guess I may be lucky in having cisplatin in smaller doses for 6 weeks, had not thought of it that way before. I talked with a year out patient who had the 3 dose method for a longer infusion time, so I know they use both methods. Perhaps it depends upon the patient's particular situation? He told me he did not have surgery first, which I did. Our situations differed in other ways as well. I do not know who had a more advantageous one, they were just different.

This is hard stuff, making decisions on doctors and their proposed treatments, but once you've made those decisions, hopefully you trust them, which I do. I know the docs here discuss their treatment plans with each other before they come to the final one.
