    hi diazr1
    did you do the treatments at home or the hospital? I was told I had to be hospitalized

    Good luck...
    Hi Denise,
    Just wanted to wish you good luck tomorrow. I don't know anything about RICE...my chemo was CVP-R. When you get out of the hospital and feel up to it, let us know how your doing. Best wishes...Sue (FNHL-2-3a-6/10)
