I couldn't go to a CCC so I got my care in the town I live in. I sure wish I could have gone to a better place for treatment. The radiologists are very nice and so is my chemo Dr. and his nurses. My Ent doesn't like me to ask nothing when I go there so everything I have as far as information goes is what I have learned here and what I look up on the web. I feel like they prefer to keep you in the dark and I don't like that at all as I want to be an informed patient. I don't like surprises and feel much better if I know what to expect.
Last night I had a bad headache on the left side of my head all night even though I took meds for it but it has eased up a little this morning and the noises in my ears are irritating. I am trying to get water down but just sick at my stomach even though I am taking the meds for nausea. I guess it's just what I have to go through to try and beat this thing. Thank you for your reply and others who have replied as it really means a lot. Angel
