    New update
    They, the doctors decided to try to save my kidney, sort of. They put me on a different antirejection med that also helps fight cancer, and are using the chemo as an immunosupresant. Tried the Taxol and had an alergic reaction to it, so they gave me the carboplatin and it was ok, but now I cannot sleep. My mind is going all the time, like I drank a pot of coffee and am on some cafine high. I need good sleep. No more taste of food after two weeks radiation, I am making myself eat though, only lost 5 pound in two weeks. I have a little saliva left, but up here in Nevada with the dry climate I notice that my mouth dries up alot faster than down in the bay area. 4 more chemos and 5 weeks of radiation to go.

    Yes that is the drug I am on now, any problems with it so far. I wish they would have put me on it along time ago and I could have avoided this whole thing. Only two weeks in and one chemo and I am having a really hard time eating, vomiting everything. I am just getting ready to go back down to San Francisco, I really hate going back down there. Enough wineing for now.
