Good morning, all.
Gary, you are correct in that the Xeloda is being taken orally for 2 weeks after each cisplatin infusion. I don't know why they started chemo on its own in advance of the radiation...
I think I'll talk to the chemo nurse today about getting his a prescription for Zanax. I am taking that myself so that I can sleep at night....if I don't, I get only about 3 hours worth and then I am up and worrying. I also find that during the day I am tugging at any clothing near my neck....sympathetic anxiety, I guess. Somedays it makes me literally crazy and I rush home to take that magic pill!
Mark, I am going to show him these replies and I am encouraging him to get in touch with others who have gone through this. Thank goodness he has a strong team at the office - I think they'll keep the company healthy while he's not, but that 'control' element is hard to release, is it not?
WE are having a problem with constipation....the little pills aren't working yet and he's pretty miserable........
Hope all of you have a wonderful day - we already know it will be blessed!
