At least now you can start marking the completed days off on a calendar - you are fighting the fight! John had weekly Cisplatin and had a terrible time with nausea all through and after treatments. It was a combination of the chemo and the mucus. He took both Compazine and Zofran, Compazine alone did nothing. Good luck and hang in there!
