Thanks JDK, I got the answers when I met with Dr. Lebovics on Friday. He says that they swab me with steroids as well as chemo drugs in the throat, and that I'll get steroids and painkkillers via IV. I don't have any drugs to take once I'm out though (other than my WG drugs, of course). I'm waiting to her from his secretary -- looking forward to getting this over and done with.
