question concerning withdrawal [View all]

my wife is currently coming up on what we hope is her last round of chemo for cholangiacarcinoma. She has been on a regimen of one infusion every three weeks of cysplatin and a 4 pill a day zeloda consumption for 14 days, with a 7 day break in the routine. She also takes folic acid, dicyclomine, warfarin and when needed a anxiety reducer.

I'm wondering what withdrawal from these drugs might entail after she is finished with this. I understand that it will take a few weeks or more for the chemo head syndrome to fade but I am worried more about the physical aspect.

thanks again,
