Thumbs up onward and upward...

I'm so sorry you and Ed didn't get the results you were hoping for. I know that after this news settles in, you will both be ready for the next step.
I had A/C x 4. I used Kytril for the nausea and it worked great. I also drank tons of water because the cytoxan can affect the lining of the bladder. It
makes you have to pee "urgently". My chemo nurse always gave me popsicles to suck on during the treatment to help prevent mouth sores. When I could no longer look at another popsicle, she gave me a cup of ice chips. The worst part of A/C for me was the nausea, but I never vomited,
and the nausea was about for 4 days after the tx. Good luck with all of this.
Ed is very lucky to have you.............and Tippy.
