Hey Carol,

I just wanted to say that we are thinking of you and pray daily that they find a cure for cancer.

My daughter went thru 14 rounds of chemo, no radiation, but had 5 different drugs, all with different side effects. Just be sure to speak up about what you are experiencing.....my daughter was prescribed Zofran for nausea, which worked but gave her migrane type headaches. The nurses were not too concered because the nausea was controlled, but she was miserable. Another mother told me about Kytril which worked better with no headaches!!! Sometimes the best advice is from networking.....

Her tastes changes thru the chemo....she suddenly loved Chinese food, and would eat ravioli and spagettios cold straight from the can.......ick! I can't even smell them now without gagging, but at least she was eating!!

best of luck, let us know how it goes and if there is anything we can do to help!
