Hey Terri! Carla had some great advice, and like Steph said, I think everyone should be given IV premeds. Phenergan, in pill form can be given every 6 hours, I believe. Compazine, and Zofran, every 3-4 hours, I think. A fairly new med. Emend, has recently been approved as an IV premed. Also, in another thread somewhere, it has been discussed (study results) that fasting for 2 days before chemo. helps with nausea and chemo. effectiveness. just spoke with my Pharmacist who, in a nut-shell, said that "normal" cells go dormant during the fasting, but the cancer cells don't know how to behave, and are more likely to be hit by the chemo. Said the studies are very promising. This has been posted here on other threads, but sometimes with the technical stuff, my eyes glaze over and all I can think about is paddling and searing meat over an open fire. It was nice the way my Pharmacy source put it. Let us know how you're doing SweetPeaTerriB. Love, Bill
