Erin,

In addition to the chemo drugs, you will probably be pre-medicated with a steroid (decadron), benadryl, tylenol and an anti nausea (zofran or compazine). You will probably also be given decadron to take for a few days after chemo and also a prescription for an anti-nausea medication as-needed. If your insurance will pay, you might want to ask specifically for zofran if your onc gives you compazine. It worked better for Jill than compazine, but it is $$$.
