Tonight, while having his dinner "shake", he commented on how he felt better after having IV fluids today. Then a few minutes later, the nausea hit. He take meto-clopramide which seems to settle it down. I think Debbie is right - given the level of toxicity from the whole treatment, side effects, drugs etc. no wonder there is nausea. I haven't heard about compazine, but will ask about it when we see the doc. next week. Anne
