[quote=Jim and Deb]David, when did your nausea slack off? Jim has had constant nausea from about day 4 of the treatment regimen. The cisplatin was the first culprit. Then carboplatin, even though MO said it rarely caused much nausea. Wrong! He threw up the first night! So he has pretty much stayed on his Zofran and Phenergan. It's been two weeks since he finished the treatments, the mucous has slacked off and he feels better but we're hesitant about putting the anti-nausea pills away. Do you remember when your nausea subsided? [/quote]

Hi Debbie. I hope you don't mind if I jump in here. My husband John was on both Zofran and Companize all through treatments because the nausea was so bad. He didn't talk for a month because every time he tried the mucus would make him gag and throw up. He was totally off all anti-nausea meds about 1 month after treatments ended.
