Just came from last rad planning session - rad starts Thurs. Onc nurse's instructions are 32 oz water 2 hrs before injection (she has a PEG so this shouldn't be a problem), 8 mg Zofran 2 hrs before plus an Allegra pill. Compazine every 6 hrs plus another 32 oz water in the hrs following. Cortisone cream on injection site.
Gail: Thanks for the notation re the timing between injection & actual treatment, I'll question them on that. That's excellent news re your husband's salivaries; this is a major concern of Teri's.
