Zofran - the Wonder Drug!

This last round of chemo didn't go quite as well.  The first night of chemo, Jared was up sick the entire night!  And I mean SICK - he was running to the toilet about every 15 minutes the entire night.  I couldn't figure out why this time had made him so sick - the dosage hadn't changed, and he'd always tolerated the chemo pretty well.

The next day he figured out the problem - he forgot to take his Zofran!!  He has so many pills he takes at night, he forgot to throw in the Zofran!  (Zofran is the anti-nausea pill he takes 30 minutes before he takes his chemo.)  I don't think he'll ever make the same mistake again!

Lesson Learned:  Just how poisonous this chemo stuff really is, and just how strong Zofran really is!

Can't wait to be off this stuff - just three more rounds!  (Fingers crossed...)
