Christine, I noticed that you only had 2x cisplatin. Richard is scheduled for 3x and it would be great to only do 2x. Zofran is the expensive one and works good so far. How long do most people have to take the anti nausea drugs? Richard will keep taking them every six hours for a few more days, then try for every eight hours. He can go back to every six hours if needed.
Do people have to take these the whole time on radiation? The nurse said that depending on the individual diagnosis, Richard might not do the 3rd chemo. I'm not sure if I heard her correctly, because I was so stressed out on Mon.
