Hello Amy,

They gave me anti-nausau infusions before the chemo. I had no side effects from the chemo at all. I started with Carboplatin & Taxol. Next up was Taxatere & Cytoxen, next up was Visblastin and ended treatment with Erbitux. The Erbutux was the only drug I had a problem with, severe headachs every day. On a 1 to 10 I would rate it a 7. Hospice is helping with the pain needs.
I am now in Hospice.
Mine was a stage 4 tonsil cancer with a recurrance in the same area.
Hopefully John will not suffer the bad side effects from his chemo. Thinking of you both.

Danny Boy
