Hi again, The only problem Richard is having right now is Thrush. They put him on Diflucan. He started taking them on Friday for 10 days. I'm wondering if this will last through treatment or come and go. I've heard of Nystatin and oral gel clair. Is anyone familiar with these meds? Margaret, I'm glad to hear you were able to keep up with your routine and thanks for the feedback about Emend. Lori, thanks for your post. I'm pretty sure we will be dealing with one thing after another. Richard had such a violent reaction to the first chemo that it totally threw us. We were expecting problems, just not so soon. Geri
