The eye muscles are still a bit twitchy. I am home, ate Chinese food, didn't need a raaalf bucket, and no need for immodium yet, either. I am slightly dizzy, though. I am sipping on a pint of cold water and have to get used to drinking 2 to 3 quarts of liquids (no beer, dammit) for the duration of this new treatment. On the plus side, my new treatments have not made my salivary glands go berserk when I bite into some food, like they did when I was on oxaliplatin. That was quite a shock when my mouth would react like I had the sourest lemon in there and whatever I had bitten into tasted normal.

Hey, Ed. Just letting you know I'm still following this and cheering for you. Keep grinding, man. Hope this round is as tolerable as possible. (And gets the job done.)

Thanks, I do appreciate it greatly!

Keep that inner Viking hacking away at that shit, Ed.

Best of luck to you with that. I hope it goes smoother than mine did and I didn't suffer with it.

Thank you, and good.

Still cannot believe there are 3 of us here fighting this shit. It is good to have others around to discuss, though.

The 3 Cancerteers.

Oh, wow. That was really cheesy. Sorry. LOL

They should trot us onto the field at halftime, shouldn't they?

Despite taking anti-nausea meds this time, sadly this morning, 16 hours after I last ate anything, my streak of not throwing up since May of 2008 came to a sudden, lengthy end. 6 or 7 raaalfs later, I sat down with some more meds, took them, waited a bit, and ate breakfast. So far so good except for hiccups. I am tired, too.

Good luck guys... and keep fighting. Hope all three of you beat it.

Same.

Sending good vibes to you dude.

Fight on men, fight and then fight some more...

My friend Angela dropped by to help me wash my hair in the sink and I almost hurled on her. 3 seconds after I hugged her, I had my trash can in hand and let loose. Dammit. I hate puking.

Man, this is hitting me hard. I just threw up a lot, for the third time today, and it really burned. I wonder if I should ring the doc?

I would. Certainly time to adjust something.
