  1. He is doing really good! He has had three treatments and still has one more. They did a scan three weeks after the second treatment and it showed a 50% reduction in the tumor size, so, it's working. He is usually really sick on the third, fourth, and fifth day after treatment but they have him on antinausea meds for that and they help quite a bit. They lower his dosage of chemo with each treatment to help with the side effects. He started losing his hair about two weeks after the first treatment and that upset him. I think when that happened, the reality of the situation really sunk in. He became very depressed and the doctor put him on antidepressants to help him cope. His mood is better and back to normal.
  2. Thanks for the advice.
  3. My hubby was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc a month ago. Started chemo (cisplatin and paclitaxel) this past Thursday. He has been sick in bed since Sunday. Today he is feeling a little better so far. What has others experience with chemo been like. Is it extending your life and how is quality of life with chemo. I know everyone is different in response to chemo. I've never traveled this road before and am walking it blind so to say.
