Husband diagnosed with tonsil cancer: looking for tips and support

Radiation day 4 and 5 had a little more skin soreness. Mederma helped. Ringing was worse Friday but just about gone by Sunday. Queasy feeling mostly gone by Sun too.
Monday AM blood tests came back fine. Sitting in the IV chair now after talking with the PA. Plan is to keep cisplatin at same level and monitor ringing. Also to alternate taking the ondansetron and prochlorperazine together (the o one, 4 hours later the p one, 4 hours later the o one,) to stay ahead of the nausea.

Be careful of the ringing in the ear. If it gets worse and continues it can lead to some permanent hearing loss. Reducing the Cisplatin helped me with a reduction in ringing. Your Medical Oncologist should be able to advise accordingly.
