Hi All -
After two wonderful, relaxing, recuperative weeks in San Diego, Rick and I are back to reality. Rick had his second infusion of chemotherapy on Thursday. Instead of Cisplatin, Dr. Garland ordered Alimpta (same as last time) and Carboplatin. She said that carboplatin is a "cousin" of cisplatin - just as effective and less toxic. The total infusion process took about 2 hours instead of the over 4 hours it took to infuse the alimpta and cisplatin. The information on carboplatin also says he will only feel nauseous for about 2 days. Today is day two and he is still feeling pretty nasty. Tomorrow will be better.
