I suffered for two weeks until my Dr. put me on Aloxi. I get this in an I.V. just prior to the chemo along with a small dose of some type of steroid. My infusion is on Thursday morning and then by Saturday night I start using Zofran (pills) every 8 hours. It works like a dream for me. The only thing is that I must use Senekot S right away to avoid constipation.
This combo changed everything for me. I can function and keep hydrated. It is really important to drink as much as you can.
Good luck,
Carolyn
