Hi Petey,
You will do just fine! Jordan got the 'big dose' Cisplatin on her 2nd day of IMRT. The anti nausea drugs were wonderful, she did well-just slept alot for 2-3 days. On her next scheduled dose(28 days later) she recieved Carboplatin cuz she had terrible ringing and hearing loss w/ Cisplatin. Again, anti nausea meds and slept alot. She also had Erbotux weekly for 8 weeks. Radiation 5 days a week for 7 weeks. I have read tho, where there is a smaller dose given more frequently. We'll be thinking of you. Her surgery has been scheduled for 7/30.
misskate has helped her tremendously.....THANK you for helping us find her for 'jordan'! Pulling for you, wish we could be of more help to you. Linda
