Breathing a sigh of relief

They gave Phil Ativan (anti- nausea anxiety med) and Oxicodene and

thankfully he feels much better,

The doctor is going to cut the Erbitux in half but give him a couple of

weeks off first.

Dr. Rothman looked at him and said

" I know you are worried but it WILL get better "

That man is a saint!

I bet you can hear that sigh of relief all the way to your house!!!

Narice,

Isn't it refreshing to find a doctor who treats not only the patient but the

family and caregivers as well. I'm glad Phil is feeling better.

Narice:

This is such good news. I take Ativan to counteract the effects of the

steroids they give me as pre-meds before Oxaliplatin. I fall asleep and that

is

a good thing.

Sounds like Phil can use a break. A lot of this is tweaking the dosage to

get it right so that the patient can tolerate these drugs. My oncologist

first cut my chemo by 20% and when I was still too sick to go on, he cut the

5FU

bolus. Now, I can function while on chemo (even though it is still bad). I

know that they will get it right for Phil. And what encouraging news from

Dr. Rothman. Just keep repeating those words: It will get better.
