Raymond,

I went through a similar treatment course with Cisplatin and radiation. Just a word of advice....take the anti-nausea medication. The chemo made me sicker than I ever had been in my life. Some people told me to start taking the meds 24 hours before my first chemo treatment. That really seemed to make a difference. Also, don't be afraid to speak up if one type of med is not working for you. They had to put me on stronger meds to stop the nausea.

You're lucky that you'll be staying overnight in the hospital. I used to have to spend 8 hour days getting the Cisplatin and then had to drag myself home. It was not a fun time.

I'll keep you in my prayers. It's not as bad as it seems. Once you get through this challenge, it's all down hill. Keep hope in your heart and you'll come out great!
