Angels,
I forgot to mention that Bill had a Cisplatin/Taxol combination and although his hair thinned, he kept most of it and never looked "bald."

Also, he really never had nausea. The worst for him weirdly enough was hiccups...starting the day after treatment and going for a day or two and they were awful. The MO prescribed a couple of things that kept it at bay. Both your RO and your MO's office can help you with symptoms that arise...don't hesitate to call them or mention it at your appointments. Many times they will have samples to give you at no charge...I know we got several things...one for nausea that we never had to use.

Do you have someone to drive you to appointments?? You won't need it at first, but later in treatment, you will feel pretty lousy and really it won't be very safe for you to drive. Get this arranged now before it becomes necessary. The American Cancer Society has a program to drive patients to treatments if you get to that point.

Hugs, Deb
