Went to see chemo dr. yesterday..Oscar is going to be given Cisplatin once a week with his radiation (which is 5x week). We start this as I said before 7/10/07. He recommended a feeding tube, said may not need first couple weeks, but feels it will come down to that. Hubby does not want one and doc told him to go home and think about it. Doc told him, "we are going to burn you up, you really need to think about it, you are going to be very sore and possible unable to eat." Sending in scrip today for nausea and a mouth rinse for sore throat and more pain pills. They are talking like they can get this with just rad/chem treatment, I pray they can.

Still haven't heard anything about insurance, just keep getting more and more papers to fill out and record release forms. But doctors have been real good with us and one hospital with a 3500+ bill, charged it off. That was a big relief for us.

The closer we get, the more scared we become. I'm glad we have the support of this forum and all you wonderful people.
