Good to hear that you are getting hydrated and that you have rallied. And you are getting some hours in at work is just awesome!
Here's a list of the meds that were included in my first chemo: (my nausea was minimal)
Magnesium sulfate solution, Granisetron HCl, Palonosetron HCl, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, Fosaprepitant dimeglumine, and the hypersensitivity meds diphenhydramine HCl, Hydrocortisone sodium succinate, and methylprednisolone sodium succinate.
The cetuximab made my face a mess. The second week I developed a very intense rash that would bleed very easily.
I couldn't imagine wearing the rad mask with that rash I had.
Maybe a lower concentration of cisplatin? My doc has me on 75mg per meter squared and my tonsil and lymph are indeed responding. From just looking at it I would say my tonsil is half the size. Your tonsil and nodes are gone. Seems to me a concentration change would be reasonable?
Hope you and your team find a good solution for your next chemo.
Wishing the best for you,
Steve
