Re: [MOL] side effects - can you help?/REply



Dear Friend:  I know this is playing havoc on you and no wonder.
 
In all the researching that I have done these past year's I am discovering more and more Doctors are using a two or three prong chemo therapy.  Meaning different types of chemo.  They are also giving the chemo in lower dosages.  Many on our forum have been on this chemo program, not sick to their stomach, not loosing their hair.  The researchers are saying that the low dosage has the same affect as an aggressive dosage.
 
Use plastic utensils and plates to take away some of the salt taste.
 
phenergan-antionousee (sp) makes patients want to eat.
 
What chemo drugs is he on?  For what type of cancer and stage?  I really suggest that you talk with his Doctor and get that dosage lowered. I would not let this go. Some chemo's do cause chills.
 
I am sorry to hear your father is going through so much.  Warmly, your friend, lillian
