Christine,

Thanks for all the tips. I'll try to keep up with the required intake. I really need to do it! I'll check out the "Speak it" app. I have an iPad if that's what it takes.

My chemo is Sisplatin. They tell me it helps the radiation work better. Also, It's a 'heavy metal.' (Not musical.) All the chemo folks are very nice. They answer questions and share their food goodies! I was in the chair from about 10 a.m. till 4:30 pm with one trip to 'pee.' They offered me Rx for nausea meds, so I took the offer. I have Zofran ODT and Compazine. I didn't ask when I might expect to need them. Right now, I feel fine.

I had a bit of a struggle through the rad experience. That mask mad me a bit claustrophobic but I was able to make it through. I sure hope it gets easier.
