We headed over to see Dr. Chen today. He decided that since Cyn's blood counts had dropped a little, and this was the last week of radiation- that there would be no chemotherapy treatment today. Instead she is getting some shots to help her generate more white and red blood cells, as well as some potassium (her electrolytes were low), and fluids to keep her hydrated.
We decided to keep her on the Emend meds this week since we had it, and again only start the new meds if the nausea got bad again. She had just about a week of little to no nausea this week which was a good sign, but the emend really he says the insurance company won't pay for (it aint cheap!) unless she's actually having the chemo.
So... we'll see next Tuesday if he decides on chemo. In the meantime we're trying to find the magic combination of efforts to get rid of the nausea once and for all. If she has no chemo today that will be a big help this week, I think.
