Eric,

My mom was scheduled for 6 chemo treatments the same as yours but after the second treatment she broke out in a rash that covered her entire body. She doesn't do well with medication and is allergic to some medications as well. After her second treatment they stopped the chemo because they did not want her reactions to get worse. She experienced a lot of naseua but she had a harder time with the radiation. Since they say that the chemo enhances the radiation the doctors felt that the radiation was doing what is was supposed to do and they stopped he chemo treatments.

Glad to hear you are so positive even though you already know what you are about to endure with another round of radiation. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and as my mom's ENT says "Your swinging a huge bat at the cancer" this time!

Take Care,
Dani
