Thanks so much for the support. As a follow-up, we drove to University of Miami on Friday for Rad treatment (1X AM and 1X PM) We were half ther when Toff got very sick in the car, vomiting. Fortunately he gave in and let me drive. He also gets these shooting pains starting in his neck and traveling to his head and around his eye. He takes his breath away it is so bad. We have Percoset which the Dr gace us for the pain which I gave him 1/2 tablet in the car. Surprizingly it helped the pain and took away the neusea. He had both Rad treatmeent and even enjoyed a light lunch in between. We also saw the Dr who presribed Compezine for neusea. He started to feel bad Friday night and by Saturday he developed a 102.9 fever and still neusea even with the meds. The on call Dr prescribed an antibotic Climdamycin and Tylenol right away. Today (Sun) he woke up with no fever and feels a little better. The Dr mentioned possibly tumor fever. Any on know anything about this? We start again on Monday and he starts Chemo on Tuesday. Becasue of our 2 hr drive to Miami, the Cancer Society is trying to locate an apartment we can stay at during the week to avoid Todd having to go thru that long drive every day. I am sure after Tuesday I will have lots of of questions. This forum is wonderful!!
