Deb, After the 1st round my heme checked my blood every week till I was ready for round 2. Some have blood pulled every day of treatment & monitored more closely. Also, if the pill prescribed for nausea is Zofran(ONDANSETRON HCL 8 MG), and you have problems getting authorization b/c they're like 18.00 a pill(8MG). You can get them @ Costco or Sams for a fraction of the price cost me 27.00 for 60 pills. My insurance wanted him to prescribe something different first and wouldn't approve the generics so I saved myself the aggravation by paying the 25.00 out of pocket.
Take Care, Steve
