  Urgent treatment for neoplasm consists of (1) cautious use of intravenous diuretics and (2) mediastinal irradiation, starting within 24 hours, with a treatment plan designed to give a high daily dose of radiation but a short total course of therapy to rapidly shrink the local tumor. Intensive radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy will palliate the process in up to 90% of patients. In patients with a subacute presentation, radiation therapy alone usually suffices. Chemotherapy is added if lymphoma or small-cell carcinoma is diagnosed

  Glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 4 mg every 6 hours) are commonly prescribed but lack robust supporting data; they may be more beneficial in lymphoma or thymoma and as prophylaxis against radiation-induced edema.

  Just so much honor, when thou yield’st to me, Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.
  
  In connection to line 27, it seems what seems to be getting lost is the listener's honor. The speaker (?) seems to connect this, comparing the fear of loosing her honor in connection to the flea's death. By saying this, the speaker goes on to push, saying that similar to the flea's death having no consequence, their will be no consequence to them being intimate.
