Holly,
Hope by mid week you are able to rally from the cisplatin. That is really yucky stuff. I cannot believe that they are trying to cancel your insurance. It seems to me you should have some legal recourse. Thank goodness your spouse has coverage for you but since this business of BC is so expensive, perhaps it would be better if you were covered by both. This may be something you want to look into when you are feeling better.
Sounds like we have had similiar struggles the last few days. I was so under the weather the last few days that I wasn't even up to reading email. Like Joe, I am receiving MVAC and of course, that includes our lovely cisplatin which just wipes most of us out....first cyle I was so sick the doctor prescribed EMEND and Dexatehasone and so last week I thought I would handle it much better on 2nd go around. It did a great job of helping me keep the food and drink down, but too good a job. I found myself unable to void the next morning, after having drank about 90 oz. of liquids. Odd thing was that I had no bladder pain or even fullness. Didn't want to go into the weekend with an emergency situation, so called my oncologist and went to get catherized. Was weighed the day prior, wearing the same outfit, but weighed 10 lbs. more with all the liquids I had consumed. The doctor ended up giving me a prescription for Flomax but I haven't had a problem since I ceased taking the Emend. If I can find some way to better manage this struggle withi Cisplantin (have two more sessions to go), I'll let you know.
Take care.....sending you prayers and hugs. Melodie
