Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 54 | John had them after each Cisplatin day for several days - even got a thorazine prescription out of frustration but only took one pill - I think by then they were going away on their own. Good luck and keep hanging!

Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 306 | Elocia - Sounds like you are doing great. Keep up the good work. I was getting radiation twice each day in conjunction with chemo. Hiccups were a problem in the first few weeks, then not. When the going gets tougher, think about all the clever crafty things you can do with that mask!! Thoughts and prayers are with you, Tom Jackson

Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 15 | Well, I was able to make it 10 injections of the Amiphostine until we decided we had to stop it. Over the past week, each time I received it it caused me to break out in a rash all over my body. I was taking Benedril as they recommended but to no avail. I hope that those 10 I had will help.
