had to stop so husband could throw up on the way to treatment. he wanted me to turn around and get his anti-nausea meds so I did. We had only driven about 12 minutes of our 60 minute drive so it made sense to go get them.

even he said he wasn't expecting to still be fighting nausea. chemo treatment was 12 days ago. day 10 of radiation. just curious about other's experiences.

he did eat some broccoli soup I made for him today...made it with high fat heavy whipping cream. he had 2 servings! he asked for fettucini this weekend so I will make that as well. I think they put some fear into him about losing 11 lbs the first week so he's willing to try to eat some things. The pharmacy made up a compound of lidocaine, etc to help him soothe his throat so he will be willing to eat something.
