During my chemo treatment I was given Aloxi for the nausea and at home I had Zofran and Phenergan. I didn't have Cisplatin but I had Carboplatin so my nausea was not nearly as severe as it is for those who had Cisplatin. My first week I was nauseous and throwing up after but then they switched me to the Aloxi and that seemed to help. After that I just kept on top of taking the Zofran and Phenergan and I was okay for the most part.


Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.
