Hey Petey, thought I would stop by real quick. Oscar is getting Cisplatin once a week for six weeks and radiation 5 days a week for 6-7 1/2 weeks...he does his radiation before going up to the chemo floor. He is handling it ok right now, just hates being in hospital so long for chemo..10 hours today. Makes for a long day, but he is getting like 3 bags of fluid with it. They said that Cisplatin is very hard on the kidneys and they have to keep him flushed. Remember your well needed advice you gave me, "you have to take it one day at a time, and I am here if you need to talk." Keep me posted, know we have both been busy lately.
