A good question and as a wise person said at the start there are no right answers. As usual I feel armed and fully informed for my next meeting with Doctors. For the record I had to bags of Cisplatin over 6 weeks did not feel too bad some tinitus a little nausea, very little weight loss. 5cm lymph node reduced by 50% all good.When I got the 3rd Cisplatin and radiation was introduced I felt worse than bad, it felt like I was beaten up by baseball bats. and unlike previous treatments the nausea refuses to leave me I last 5kg in one week.
I love my PEG it is keeping me alive.The introduction of a Nebulizer has made breathing talking and swallowing all manageable.
I will be having a real long discussion about an alternative to Cisplatin so they leave enough of me to fight through a recovery.
wise people what does QOl stand for.
Ps Any one got reciepies for the PEG that dont include UHT milk, as it repeats on me.
