Chris, Mike has gone through one induction chemo round, and he had emend. Before they started the chemo, he had zofran iv. He also has scripts for zofran and compazine. Mike's chemo nurse said to just hold off on the compazine and take the zofran every 8 hours. He took the zofran for several days. He had one morning that he felt slightly nauseous about 5 days in, but the zofran took care of it. I don't know if the emend worked or if it was the zofran, since I made sure he took it and all his other meds religiously, but I hope so considering its $$!
Hope you are doing well and not experiencing any other side effects from the rad/chemo.
Blessings, Shelly
