How is her hydration as that also influences nausea. Is she taking in 2-3 quarts of liquid every day? I remember they were very exact with Jack on drinking water 90 minutes before the injections and keeping it up all day. Are they doing IV hydration with her if she can't tolerate taking in sufficient liquids? Zofran is another good anti nausea drug and Jack also was given Emend for 3 days around every chemo treatment. Is she taking the anti nausea pills every day?
Sorry to hear that she's having a hard time. Jack did complete the entire series of amifostine but a lot of other people didn't due to the nausea.
Regards JoAnne
