The dosage dance
Vodka had Palladia again today. In the last week without Palladia, the tumor in his shoulder has grown bigger. Really sucks
Especially since the unpredictable food response continues:
The good thing is that he’s eaten well this last week in spite of it all - many thanks to Stephanie’s creative cooking!
We’ve been talking about Palladia dosing with all of Vodka’s doctors - obviously, determining the right dose for him is still work in progress. We’ve now chosen to try the lower dose of Palladia (115 mg) every 72 hours (3 days). And we’re hoping to give him Metoclopramide (Reglan) over the course of a day right after the Palladia dose for protecting his GI system.
So, we’re continuing to fine-tune a multi-pronged strategy for coping with side effects here:
3 doses of Metoclopramide over the 24 hours after Palladia - for dealing with GI motility issues Metronidazole - for dealing with diarrhea Nux vomica - a homeopathic protocol for coping with nausea/vomiting Digestive soother - composed of slippery elm, l-glutamine and fructo-oligosaccharides for coating the stomach Carafate - for coating the stomach Tagamet - for protecting the stomach against histamine release Probiotics - essential for maintaining digestive floraA couple more supplements I’ve ordered that will hopefully help here:
Seacure
This is a predigested fish protein concentrate that has worked really well to alleviate symptoms of IBD and Crohn’s disease. An acquaintance on an animal cancer alias is a RN who works with human cancer patients - she’s apparently seem good results when chemo patients use Seacure for dealing with nausea and inappetance.
