Hi Marie, I'm so sorry to hear this latest news but on to the next step. I received 4 treatments of a/c. After the first one, we discovered that if they dripped the cytoxin a little slower, I avoided headaches. Also, I was told to start drinking plenty of water a couple of days before infusion and the day of. I agree with the Emend, but make sure he takes it before he gets nauseated, it's a lot hard to control when the nausea kicks in. Remember, if one anti nausea drug doesn't work for him, there are many to choose from. Best of thoughts to you both. You are always in my prayers.
Hugs
