Fed Ex is on the job - the chemotherapy drugs arrived today. Temodar (temozolomide), the jet fuel based chemo drug, Zofran (ondansetron HCL) and Prochlorper, both anti-nausea drugs. Zofran is taken before the Temodar to prevent nausea and vomiting, the other afterward, as needed, to prevent "breakout out events."
Since I haven't taken any drugs yet, there's not much to report. I will say how blessed I feel to have Medicare Part D and my supplemental insurance covering the Temodar costs - $2,500 for five days worth of pills.
Drum roll ...
