While I have read here that many folks have taken Compazine for nausea, Jim's docs have never mentioned it, only Zofran and Phenergan. Also he was taking Reglan but stopped it a few weeks ago because it was giving him the shakes. If the nausea continues or worsens I will certainly ask for Compazine.

I suppose it is a combination of all of it - radiation, chemo, acid reflux, mucous, constipation, pain medicines, etc etc, and throw in some nervous anxiety about the "C" to boot and how could one not be nauseated?? I'm glad to know others had the same problem though. I will let him know that it WILL go away in due time.

Thanks for taking time to answer.
