@sksnow- Hello- It's nice to meet you. I was both excited and frightened about starting chemo. All I was thinking was that I was doing something about my lung CANCER!

What are the medications that they are giving you? I had cisplatin and navelbine. I did have some hair loss but did not lose all of my hair. My biggest problem was digestive acidity and nausea. Were you given an anti-nausea medication prior to today's treatment? If it's not enough ask your Oncologist for additional medication.

Please let us know how it went!

Merry

Treatment starts Monday. Im getting Cisplatin and Etoposide. No anti nausea meds yet but i have a ‘supportive care team’ that’s supposed to make sure i get that kind of stuff. Radiation after chemo. Did you have radiation too? What’s your recovery status?
