Geri,
Bob's chemo regimen:
Emend, taken immmediately before chemo. We were told to bring the Emend with us to tx., but NOT to take it until cleared for chemo. It is expensive and insurance will not pay for another 'scipt if chemo is delayed/cancelled.
Decadron 4 mg on day 2, 3, & 4 of chemo.
Kytril (anti-emetic) and Ativan (anti-nausea and anti-anxiety).
In addition, as Gary states, there were several bags for hydration. IV steroid and IV anti-emetic meds were also administered routinely. Lottie
