Everyone is different in how they react....
This is what worked for Mike.

Cisplatin followed by 5 days of a pump drip 5FU.
ONE WORD- EMEND. 3 Little pills 1x a day for three days, Kept the nausea away.

Radiation....oh, what can you say about that and not talk about a peg tube. Hand in hand these 2 go. With a Peg, although used infrequently, keeps the body healthy enough to take the next day of radiation with no interupption. It sucks, radiation gets done, you get better quickly and the peg comes out.

Radiation and no PEG, you have the challange of your lifetime! Just to stay alive.
Yet, you'll still get beat down to being hospitalized and your treatment delayed. Treatment delays are not good.

Thats all for now, one stage at a time... just rembember that if the foundation that is built NOW is strong (the body's nutritional and hydrating is steady) radiation treatment as well s oncology will be optimal to beat down the cancer, and not the rest of you.
