Hi, Eric!
Glad to hear you are feeling a little better! You are running about 2 weeks ahead of my husband's treatment schedule....he finished his Xeloda on Wednesday and now he's on his "free" week....waiting for next Wednesday.
He's also on the Cisplatin infusion...he takes one EMEND capsule one hour before the IV is activated with the other anti-nausea drugs and the chemo. He takes an EMEND the next 2 mornings.....plus the Zofran and Decadron. Lots of stuff, but he only vomited one day. Don't know what they gave you to keep you from being sick......but I had heard the first go-round is easiest to take, so I guess we'll tighten up for this next go-round!!!

QUESTION EVERYONE....I don't want to appear stupid, but I am so very excited/curious/anxious about the fact that Tom's tumor is almost non-existant now. I mean, we are talking SHRUNK from a goose-egg lump sticking out of his neck to something you have to really "hunt" to find!
Am I being really, really naive to think that he has responded so well to the chemo that he might not have to have surgery????? I guess the radiation thing is unavoidable, but boy, after reading everyone's posts about surgery, it would be a real blessing to pass by that door!
Thank you all for listening! Have a wonderful night and a blessed day (FRIDAY!!!)
Nicki
