Hi Everyone,
I can't believe that the 40 radiation treatments are finally behind us. Needless to say there were very tough times but my husband and I agreed that they could have been worse.
I want to thank you for all the words of support during these last few months. I know that coming to this site gave me the strength I needed to help my husband through this time.
My husband is now in the hospital for his last session of chemo. Fortunately he is not experiencing any nausea due to the tip that Zofran only lasts the first 3 days and then he needs something else. He sounded very upbeat now that the end is less than 24 hours away.
The next step I guess is the waiting game. I will continue to post his progress. Now, hopefully I will be able to help others after me as you have done for me.
Thanks again,
Wendy

Hi Wendy! Congrats on getting through the rad. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) can help me... My father is half-way through radiation today, however is EXTREMELY nauseous 24/7! He wanted to give up in the beginning of the week due to the fact that none of the nausea meds work for him... He has tried Compazine, Zofran, and Kytril. Does anyone have any other meds that I can suggest on Monday? I noticed you said your husband got his under control. Thanks so much!


Diana
