Chemotherapy and Radiation Begins

Last night was Steve's first chemotherapy pill. He was supposed to take an anti-nausea pill, called Zofran, followed a half an hour later with 180 mg of Temodar. Then he goes to bed to sleep through any nausea which might occur. If I remember correctly from Terry, he also takes Colace and is supposed to eat a high fiber diet to help with any constipation from the pills, but let's not go into that unless it becomes a nuisance. 


Then today he went to the radiation clinic at the hospital for his first radiation treatment. I want to hear more details about it, but didn't get to talk to Terry about it yet. She did send this message to most of you: Hi all...Steve’s first chemo & radiation went well, no reaction....Hopefully the next six weeks will go this smoothly...Will update once a week....Our love to you all, and many thanks . Terry

I'll post some details as soon as I get them. At least we know what Steve is doing for the next six weeks and that he is staying out of trouble and off the streets at night.
