Last Thursday afternoon Barry came downstairs and said, "I just started to feel a bit nauseous" and we both looked at our watches and it was exactly 24 hours after he got the Anzemet on Wednesday (his chemo day). He took a Compazine and it went away but if it had been worse he would have taken a Zofran. If you Dad's nausea kicks in at a specific interval after chemo he should probably try to short-circuit it by taking anti-nausea meds a bit earlier. The same with pain -- don't wait until it has hold of you before taking medications -- which is why many folks go to the Duragesic patch as it is long-lasting. Gail CG to husband Barry, dx. 7/21/05, age 66, SCC rgt. tonsil, BOT, 2 nodes (stg. IV), HPV+, tonsillectomy, 7x carboplatin, 35x tomoTherapy IMRT w/ Ethyol @ Johns Hopkins, thru treatment 9/28/05, HPV vaccine trial 12/06-present. Looking good!
