Well, we are back from the 2nd chemo. They reduced the dose of cisplatin and said that it was still a good therapeutic dose. The first chemo the MO mentioned 196 and today they lowered it to 110. Richard took the Emend and they gave him the Decadron in the IV. I asked for the Zofran in the IV, but the MO nixed it because he said Emend and Zofran are alike and that taking both at the same time is overkill.

If Richard is as sick as last time, I'm going to be ticked off. I feel the Zofran should have also been given. The nurse said if the Emend doesn't work, not to take the Zofran until we call them in the morning. If he's sick tonight, wouldn't that mean the Emend isn't working and he could try to Zofran, which worked last time? Has anyone taken both of these two drugs together at the same time? We also have a prescription for Ativan and Decadron. Anybody that can help, please post...Geri
