Thank you all for posting. It helps. I'm suffering through some severe nausea, even with the Compazine, Zofran, and Ativan. I haven't thrown up, yet. Hopefully I won't. I hear that the more extreme a skin reaction I develop, the better, so bring it on! Just want the nausea to go away. I don't remember being this nauseous on the cisplatin/taxotere/5 F-U. But I still had the radiation in me and that with the mucositis made me puke, a ton, which I guess brought some temporary relief. This is uncomfortable but at least my throat isn't on fire from the radiation.

This is truly an awful cancer to have to live through.
