Severe nausea is the worst! My husband, Kenny, had to deal with severe nausea from week 1 of his treatments. Nothing seemed to work. The compazine suppositories worked a little. Kenny was finally hospitalized with critical dehydration. He ended up with a J-Tube (inserted into his small intesine instead of his stomach). He ended up with a combination of drugs to manage the nausea - compazine + adivan. Adivan is an anti-anxiety drug that has the benefit of helping nausea. You might ask your docs about trying multiple drugs to get through the worst of the nausea.
