I can not remember which chemo drug make them bring ice to me to chew on. Just remember to communicate to the staff in the chemo room any discomfort you might have. Bring a book or magazine to read. Take deep breath whenever you get nervous. If you feel like throwing up, tell the staff. They will bring you the waste basket. I threw up quite a bit in 2003 and they had to give me pills to take. These days, they mixed the antiemetic medicine first in the IV, so I hardly had any problem. My cocktail includes several tyleno, some benedryl, and some other stuff. It totals about 8 pills. Some were tiny. Let us know how it goes.
