   1st Treatment with Carboplatin/Taxol (Cancer: Lung board)

20th February 2007
Hi Faith,
Sorry to hear of the upset stomach. Stan has not been given the medicine you spoke of for the upset stomach, but Zofran. The Zofran does wonders for him and always kicked in. I would mention to the doctor that the compazine is not working and they can always try something else. I know some people that had to try several different types before they found the right one to help them out. If I remember correctly when Stan was on the Taxotere and Carbo he was very fatigue and complained of achy/sore legs. I have lost track of all the side effects from each chemo he has had since he is on his 5th line. I also remember his eyes would water and it would look like he was crying.
You get some rest and thanks for checking in and letting us know how you are doing. As far as feeling yucky, I remember Stan would be knocked down for a while and then he would start feeling stronger as the weeks passed. Appetite was also a problem, but soups usually helped. (everyone so different)
I will pray you stay strong during this chemo and you feel better,
Kim
