Hmmmm, the one thing I would do differently is have fluids on the weekends. My MO nurses gave me IV fluids everyday, but they didn't work the weekends. I could have gone to the bone marrow tranplant floor to have fluids but I tried to tough it out. Both times that I got severeley dehydrated was after a 3 day weekend. It didn't help that I didn't manage my chronic nausea that well. Zofran dissolved in water through the PEG is what finally set me free from constant gagging. Of course most of my nausea was brought on by chemo. You didn't say if you were having chemo. The fluids helped get through radiation I'm sure.

God bless and let us know how you are doing.
