<<new ideas to help prevent Matt from spending two weeks knocked down from treatment>>

C, can you share a bit what his new oncologist did to help him?

Dad got his first of 7 cisplatins this tuesday and by this Thursday afternoon was feeling lethargic, a bit nauseous and VERY depressed. he's sleeping alot and has had little conversation with anyone in the past two days, which is not like him at all. we were hoping for a few decent weeks before the rads kicked in and i'm beginning to get concerned. TIA
