My stomach has not liked the chemo either so they put me on 40mg of Prilosec each morning. It certainly cured the acid reflux for me and calmed the stomach ache. When they cut down on the steroids for me, it caused too much nausea so we kept up the steroids. Day six through eight are about the same for me; fatigue is at its worst, no appetite, have to literally force myself to drink fluids. I started going in once or twice each treatment for IV fluids and that really helped out. Don't wait three more days on shortness of breath; just go in and see someone. Should be no shortness of breath unless you are exerting yourself; certainly not if you are at rest.
