Suzan, beyond making you feel crappy or wired, the Decadron apparently undermines the chemo. There are other antinausea drugs that can be used without defeating the purpose of the treatment itself. I'm hoping the same is true for opiates. Who would knowingly take painkillers that undermine the treatment that gave you the pain to begin with?
An ER+ pateint could be drinking coffee, pre-meding with Decadron and easing the pain with Oxycodone while getting treatment diminished by all of the above.
Let's do it again next week...if your wbc holds up. If not, skip treatment to give the cancer time to regrow and mutate. Tell me I have this wrong..
please.
Sorry about the bad formatting. It looked better somehow in Word. Just be glad it's not in my handwriting.
But Laurel's right. Bigger issues loom. If we have an
Eggo shortage, there will be no point in going on.
