Roma,
Yes, I needed IV infusions. There was about a 3+week period that I could not take anything in, that's when I was infused. A little secret that they taught me for my nausea was to cut the skin and a bit of flesh off of an orange, squeeze it and breath it in. It was amazing how well that combated nausea. During this period, my mucosis was soooo bad that I could not swallow at all, everything was spit out into a bag or cup. I carried a plastic cup with me at all times, lined with orange infused paper towels. You have a bit of a challange ahead of you. Patience and attitude will help very much. Best of luck and we are all here to hold your hands.
All the best,
Rob
