Hi All,

One week down, six to go. I am on the 3 big bag method of cisplatin and daily Rad treatments. Treatment started Oct 1.

This past week was a constant battle to manage loss of appetite, nausea, uneasy feeling, lack of energy, chemo fog, and constipation. I have been on Zofran and Compazine. I found Zofran not very effective and it might make me more uncomfortable. I stopped Zofran yesterday to see if it helps.
Any thought here would be helpful.

I lost the weight I put on prior to treatment; I am about 153 lbs. Which were I have been for several years.

So far the Rad treatments have not been bad. I kind of enjoy them. I just lie down and go blank. It's over in no time. My next is just starting to get tight but not bad at all.

My mouth feels a little numb and my slyiva taste funny and is a little thick.

Last night constipation was unbearable, Very painful and difficult. Any thoughts here will be helpful.

Getting through the next 2 weeks looks doable, albeit somewhat unpleasant. However I am very scared about Chemo 2 and 3. Are these much harder than 1?
