Re: Pre-meds and Navelbine
Joyce,
I hate the pre-meds too...especially the steroids. But Navelbine did cause me nausea. Mild nausea, nothing serious...but then I did have the Zofran in my IV & would follow-up with my nausea pills at home for 3 days to be on the safe side.
I wasn't brave enough go go without Zofran--but maybe I would of been ok? I also had some heartburn that protonix took care of. Everyone is different so you just don't know till you try. Do be on guard because some times chemo's don't hit you till the 2nd or 3rd day. However I know other women that have never had any nausea with Navelbine..so hopefully all goes well.
Chelee
