Would the chemo still be working after 8days? He felt sick the day he took cisplatin: also what could he be using before going in for Rads? Like a cream to delay the burning sensation .. He seems so down I'm just so use to seeing him smile and laugh and seeing him working in his garage this C news has really came hard spring and summer is his favorite times of the year (mine too He an out doors man to the fullest!! But the boys and I won't let him get too board but I will see that my baby gets rest I just don't want him getting too much I just want to try and keep things normal: My husband ask the nurse assisting today in rads about a spray for the mouth after he finished everyday doing the radiation she said they didn't have anything like that so we will just continue toating our baking soda,salt,water around I would really prefer a saline wash of some kind.. Also about the note pad I keep to jot down things that's just something I do before and after we visit with the ENT or the RO or just a reminder of how the day is going appointments etc... For the recorder yes if we're going in for important news I have been using my phone just to record a few minutes of info: I don't ask them to speak into the mic! But I just keep it in my lap or purse while my husband me and the DR chat it really does help to go back and say ok I know what that means now or that's how you pronounce that word .. Just things like that and it works for me so that's what I'll do !! It's been a long day over an hour and forty five minutes one way and the lodge is located in Ky.ive heard good things about it only thing is children aren't allowed so we will make the drive lords will !! Thanks again very blessed I found this site starting too learn how to use it!!
