Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Well the good news for Phil is no more Oxaliplatin. That means the muscle aches and chills are gone for now. As seems to be the nausea at least for now. But the strangest thing happened. Phil broke ouyt with hives towards the end of the 5FU leucovorin drip. The nurses gave him 25mg of Benadryl which cleared it up right away but I have Benadryl tablets should they return. he also got the Avastin once they knew he was o.k. If anyone knows about this reaction drop me a line. Otherwise he feels good and for the first time since starting chemo he came home and was comfortable and able to eat! . He still has a 46 hour pump with 5FU. Hopefully there won't be mouth sores but since using the Biotene that has not been much of a problem. By the way Biotene has aloe vera but no yucky aftertaste. No different that way than regular toothpaste. As always we thank all of you for your prayers. God Bless Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Thanks but as for stuff like that I prefer it taste like regular toothpaste or mouthwash. Iremember when they came out with KIDS flavors for toothpaste but to me even the fruity ones are too sweet tasting. To each his/her own.
