2 Down - 10 to Go!
Just finished my second treatment - it went much the same as the first: pre-meds (anti-nausea) the LV and Oxcillaplatin, then the pump (46 hour) of 5FU. I noticed, from what I read online about this durg treatment is that LV is usually given with LV and the Oxcilaplation by itself. He is giving me LV + Oxcil at the same time. I asked my Onc doc about this and he said it did not matter the order. Anyone else know about this? I noticed I'm REALLY sensitive to cold - I washed my hands with code water and the water on the tops of my hands felt like it was freezing. My voice is also scratchy - like last time. Also, I drank some room temperature juice when I got home and my jaw siezed up somewhat. I think that will go away in the next few days. I have less anixety about the treatment this time.
