I had lots of heartburn with chemo and did'nt really ask for anything but when it continued after chemo I had an endoscopy done which revealed a Hiatus Hernia apparently caused by the chemo or anti nausea meds.I take one Nexium pill a day before breakfast and it mainly keeps the pain away but have heard other people who took this during chemo as a preventative measure.I think the Prilosec is similar but not sure.if need be ask your Dr for something else and don't suffer in silence as I did.
