4TH RECURRENCE CAME LAST MAY. 6 ROUNDS OF GEMZAR AND CISPLATIN. CT SCAN FOLLOWED BY 2 TREATMENTS OF GEMZAR AND CARBOPLATIN. ANOTHER SCAN, STILL A FEW LESIONS. 2 MORE TREATMENTS OF GEMZAR AND CARBO. HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION ON THE FIRST ONE AND HAD THE SECOND ONE IN THE HOSPITAL. ANOTHER REACTION AND A 24 HR STAY TURNED INTO 48. ANOTHER SCAN SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 19. REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AND AM GETTING TIRED. HOW MANY MORE TREATMENTS CAN I GET? NEED SOME REASSURING WORDS FROM MY GOOD FRIENDS HERE ON THE CSN.

    Premedicate
    Do they premedicate you with dexamethason? I was able to take more carboplatin by doing this. Saundra
