Hi Esther,

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. I too am on decadron for pretreatment for my taxotere. In the past for mild stomach acid and upsets I have used Zantac and it has worked well. But my onc suggested that I might need a proton pump inhibitor like Protonix. I resisted in the beginning, because Zantac has worked well for me, but it started to work less effectively and I switched to Protonix. It's like night and day - it is working so much better. It takes a few days to be effective, but ask your onc to switch you to a proton pump inhibitor.

My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Donna
