Angels,

During your chemo infusions, you will also get bags of drugs other than the Cisplatin...some to help you hydrate, some to offset toxicity to your kidneys, some for nausea.....Bill would go thru 10 bags of solution during each weekly (approx. 6 hour) infusion. The first one was usually benedryl (sp?) so he would be nodding off to la la land very quickly.

Make those chemo nurses your friends...they are usually a special bunch. I know we became fond of them and sometimes they intervened when no one else would.

Sending strength and positive vibes your way as you begin treatment.
