I was dehyrated and given fluids along with 3 other small bags. I imagine they were chemo. The Dr told me of I get to feeling bad, stop at any time and the nurse will give me fulids thru an IV. Over 5 hrs on the chemo office today and close to the same at PCP office , lab and the rads.   Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan.  I averaged  about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there.  w  Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube .  Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
