Chemo Education

Roberto and I sat down with the nurse who is part of our cancer team.  We learned about all the drugs that will be pumped through Roberto's body and their glorious side effects. 

Chemo Drugs
  1. Isofamide
  2. Etoposide
  3. Ciplatin
Supportive Drugs
  1. Mesna
  2. Decadron
  3. Ativan
  4. Aloxi
  5. Neulasta
 One major part of Roberto's home care is him drinking 2-3 quarts of water every day!  He needs to make sure to flush all the drugs out of his body so they don't destroy the good parts of his body *too* much.
