Gad. Call your onc nurse (or insist on a call from your onc). You should be getting additional drugs to prevent the nausea.

I found I had acid problems as soon as I started TCH. I used an over the counter Prevacid daily throughout chemo which stopped that.

FYI: I used "baby butt cream" too. I couldn't believe how raw I would get -- it was like my "output" was acidic. But the cream worked.

Also, Biotene mouthwash (from my local grocery store) was a lifesaver. No alcohol, and when my mouth tasted yucky, I would rinse every 15 minutes.

With TCH, foods tended to not taste good. Do some experimenting to find something that feels good. I found cold celery was good. Not much taste, but the crunchy felt good. And cold food tended to feel better in my mouth than hot food.

FYI: I always felt MUCH better the last week of each 3-week chemo cycle. I hope you do too. But definitely call your onc and get some relief now!!!!!!!
