As promised, here is an update.
On Monday morning I had my first treatment at the CCI consisting of two anti-nausea drugs and three chemo drugs. It went well, and I felt fine during the treatment. The treatment took about four and a half hours to complete. The nurse was very informative explaining exactly what she was doing the whole time and what side effects each drug has.
With thanksgiving to God, I can say that so far I have been feeling fine. The 2 prescribed anti-nausea medications seem to be do the trick so far. I am on them for three days, after that I have another prescribed anti-nausea medication to take only if I need it. The only problem I have had is heartburn, caused by one of the anti-nausea medications for which I can take an antacid and this seems to have alleviated that problem.
That's about all I have to report at this time.
Evelyn,

You don't know me, but we do have several acquaintances in common. My husband's last year was much like what you are undergoing now (http://johnsmedicalupdates.blogspot.com) so I will pray that you do better than he did and the medical community is successful on your behalf. God hears our prayers and answers according to His good will. Best wishes.
