WHat preventatives are they giving you?
Ruth had something in the drip, and EMEND as a tablet. The EMEND is a wonder drug in our book, she was never nausous. We had back-up anti-nausea drugs, never needed.
Did your doc put you on Prilosec? Our onc. put her on it day ONE and stayed on it through chemo. An acid fighter of some sort is imperative. This is likely what is causing the throat problems, and some of the stomach problems as well. That is available over-the-counter or you can buy a generic form that worked well (can send our leftovers to someone who needs it if you PM me) Ruth also took L-Glutamine and probiotics which can help heal and protect stomach lining.
Immodium for bad bowels, when it was bad times 2 or 3, then balanced out with a natual anti-constipation tea on other days.
Do NOT continue to suffer, please!
Caring,
Terri
