Dear Melodie and Maria,

Many thanks for your messages and for taking the time to read my web log of my journey so far.

I did have an overnight stay for the Cisplatinum as it is standard here in Holland to deliver the treatment this way. I have read on this site though that some patients have taken the IV home after chemo and flushed at home.

This forum and the wonderful people within it have supported me during difficult challenges and I am very appreciative of that in so many ways....

Kind Regards
Leigh

Hi Leigh, you seem to be coping well, I knew you would. I have read your journal, its very interesting and helpful for me.
My oncologist is waiting for some test results before he decides the combination and start date for the chemo.

Hope you continue to do well.

Just curious as to why no overnight stays for 'flushing'
Is it due to costs?
