MJo,
I still occassionaly have stomach problems -- feel nauseated at times and sometimes even throw up. I have phenegren that I take on those occasions. It doesn't happen often but enough that I need the prescription on hand. I don't know if it's resiudal side effect of chemo or if it's the Herceptin. At any rate I sympathize with you. Ask your oncologist is he/she can't give you a prescription for the phenegren to keep on hand.
