As far as lotions and creams the Aquaphor took the sting out for the first couple of weeks, but close to the end nothing seemed to make it feel better. I was given the prescription Biafine and instructions to do Domebroro soaks, but my neck was weeping badly. Has your radiation team recommended anything? They should also be able to supply you with samples until you find something that works the best. Don't be afraid to ask, the suppliers give them tons of their products to hand out to patients.

I can not help with the anti nausea drugs. I was so very sick all through my Chemo that it did not matter what I took. If I could stay asleep I did not get sick, but then I also dehydrated. I spent almost the entire time I was on chemo in the ER or admitted to a room.
