Well I had my first chemo ( official member of Chemo club rather it be the Yacht club but what can you do !!! ) and all went fairly well. The first treatment of each cycle is about 4 hrs. I recieved 1000mgs of Gemzar and 150 mgs of Cisplatin. The Gemzar is a straight up dose but the Cistplatin is based on your body mass index so the regular dose is 70mgs and my (BMI) is 2.5 such the 150mgs of Cisplatin, sorry all I just was always a math freak and asked how they calculated the dose. Remember ask questions lol. Anyway could not have been more comfortable a very nice nurse, flat screen tv with dvd for movies, snacks, soda etc. Also a very comfortable recliner wow. The first 2 days I did not feel too bad and then the worst I felt a couple of days was lethargic and a tad nauseous but that was bearable. So back tomorrow 1/23 just for the Gemzar this time. That stuff is funky I asked the nusre why the burning sensation she cut it back some so that also was bearable. Dang I felt like they were shooting tabasco sauce in me. Well just an update hanging tuff and the best to all that stop by. Regards, Joe
