Can anyone give a timeframe for the nausea to go away. First few days weren't bad,then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I can take two bites and be full. Usually the sickness comes late at night. Hate to be bothersome and call the the docs over the weekends but i'm borderline dehydrated if today doesn't go better. Thanks for the info ed. those percentages are promising. i had been debating carbo. i start 8/35 rads tomorrow and not another chemo till the first. Ear pain is finally gone. Thats a blessing. now if i could just get some nutrition in me.
