Dueling Side Effects

We have been dealing with the ugly side effects of Chemo medication now for a while. But this time, WOW, we really have dueling side effects which are causing so much havoc on Alex's 4 year old body.

The Dexamethasone (steroid) causes a serious increase in appetite. Unfortunately, the Doxirubicine (chemo) that he had on Thursday also causes nausea - so, we have a *really* hungry boy, who gets nauseated when he is even just around the food he so craves. It just sucks!
