Hi Donna,

I have tried Marinol during chemo and it had no effect on me. The only thing that worked was Emend, and that was only given for the first 3 days. I had spoken to my sons pediatric onc ( son had Hodgkins last year)about the nausea I was having and he suggested asking for additional fluids. Seems they give children an additional amount of fluids to help with this. I would go in for chemo on Thursday and by Monday I was back in for fluids and compazine IV. this seemd to be the only thing that got me through. Its worth a try.

Chemo definitely separates the men from the boys!
