Hello, Charles.
I'm new to this site, too, and am here to help my husband deal with this nastiness. I've been so heartened by all of you who are in treatment, or who are in recovery and who take the time to post notes here. He's just had one Cisplatin infusion (8/4), and he's taking 1650mgx2 of Xeloda daily until next Wednesday, and while he's finally beginning to feel better, he's just amazed at all of you who have the energy to sit at a computer and write. He's a high-energy guy, but boy, until this past Wednesday, he was, what he would call, a "wuss!" He is anxious to hear about your PETscan and we both wish you the very best. You will be included in our daily prayers.
Nicki
