Hello Everyone,

Thanks for all your responses. My hiccups have mostly subsided a few days after I stopped dexamethasone. However, before my next round of Cisplatin I intend to speak to my MO about a plan and possibly Thorazine.

I am now dealing with a sore throat that hurts to swallow even water. I knew that chemo accelerates this process, however I have only had 8 radiation sessions thus far. Any suggestions on what I might do to deal with it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for your support all along. I cannot imagine how I would be able to go through what still seems like a very long journey (2 more Cisplatin and 28 rads remaining) without your combined experience and support!

Best Regards,
Chetan
