Re: support for foregoing radiation?

Nora, I did'nt have diarrhea all that time lol, but if I ate something fried or greasy I'd feel queasy, the onc became worried when I still had'nt regained the lost weight after a year and so did the endo to rule out anything suspicious.
I was told the anti nausea meds as well as chemo itself can do a number on our tummys during chemo and really I should have asked for Nexium or something similar when I started....hindsight is a wonderful thing!!
