David,
The Emend is $150 a pill now! The manufacturing company is giving mom hers for free since she doesn't have insurance. When we went to fill the script the first time I thought I was going to cry at the cost! The zofran was equally as expensive over $350 for about 5 doses.

Sophie you are right it is a lot for her body. She is doing cisplatin, taxotore and the 5fu. She did radiation 5 years ago but because it caused so much damage she can't have it again. This is her first time with chemo. The doctors are hopeful that since this is her first try she will have good results.

We are trying to get her out on a boat this week before she has her treatment friday. Anyone have any problems being in the sun?


Lost my mother, Minnie, to Oral Cancer October 29th, 2008. I am so thankful she had the OCF to help her through her five year struggle.
