Richard has his 2nd chemo this Mon. I requested the Emend and the MO ordered it, so we do have that drug, along with Zofran and Ativan. The Emend is listed as $345 for 3 pills! We only paid $35.
Did any of you have a prescription for Decadron to take at home? That drug would be the only other one I would request. Maybe this is overkill, but Richard was so sick the first time that I'm bound and determined to have all the meds available. At least I'll know that we did everything possible to help with the side effects. I only wish the doctor had prescribed all of this the first time. Geri
