JAM,you had mentioned ativan as a anti nausea med it is really an anti anxiety med, I used it primarily during radiation because i had a difficult time with the mask. My oncologist was quite liberal with these and I was lovin him for them, however I had been warned by friends that they were very addictive and to be careful and that they can sneak up on you. Sure enough when I was in the hospital for neck dissection I began to go thru withdrawls, much like drug addict,that was the last thing I needed, they offered me another script of them, which i did not fill, I did not need them any longer since I was done with radiation, so just be careful with that drug, by the way it is also known as lorzapan. There are plenty of anti nausea drugs just do your research, for me chemo (cisplatin) was easy it was the radiation that kicked my ass.
