Thank you all for the information. I started Chemo yesterday. I was good there and afterwards, but this morning I woke up with horrible thick saliva and hard to get up. I have had severe acid reflux and burning in my somach today. I an taking Emend the 1st three days during chemo and I have Phenegrin also to take. During my chemo they give me 1 bag of fluids then a mixture of meds with some fluids that contain zofran, ativan and dexamethasone, then I get the rest of that bag with cisplatin, after that runs out I get another bag of fluids. It took almost all afternoon after I had rads at 9am and chemo at 10am. I have been in the bed a lot today. No one has mentioned about how to care for my skin at the RO. So I will bring it up on Monday. Again thank you all, Angel
