Hi Lolly,
Yes, I am taking Decadron before, during and after. The onc even gave me another script for it now at half dosage to help with the nausea. I figured out that the Phenegram(sp?) was causing me a lot of sickness. He switched me to Anzamet(sp?) and it seems to be agreeing with me a lot better! Hopefully through trial and error my next tx won't be so horrible!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday with your families

We had a wonderful family dinner and a very relaxing day. It would have been better if I could have tasted it, but everyone told me how good my cooking tasted! LOL
