Thanks everyone. I saw the PA today at the oncologist's office. He hadn't heard of it before but will talk to the doctor. They might give me decadron for a couple of days after my next treatment. Thank heavens its my last treatment. Getting the liquid form of benadryl also helps tremendously, since the episodes are now only 15 minutes compared to one hour with the benadryl pills. I keep the liquid already measured out in a little bottle in my purse. I feel like I'm sneaking a drink!!
