Also voting for Zofran (ODT to dissovle in your mouth if you are having trouble swallowing pills) and taken on a daily basis throughout your treatments to prevent nausea. Compazine is good for breathrough nausea but it's not a very effective first line medication for chemo side effects. I would ask for zofran and just be prepared that the doctor's office needs to get that precertified in most insurance plans. That's why it's good to do that so you have it on hand. Are you getting 3 days of Emend when you get your chemo?

Hydration IV's do help decrease nausea, so does Ativan for some reason. If you have a PEG tube you can run water through it in a gravity drip bag to keep the rate slow (helps decrease nausea) and get in a larger amount than 60 cc - which is only 2 oz. If you can still swallow you should keep doing that as well.

Remember that cisplatin has cumulative effects. You will tend to feel worse nausea at the later cycles. Jack found that at 72 hours post chemo he had some increased nausea that lasted a few more days so he made sure to use his drugs to cover that period. Also the side effects tend to peak at around 10-14 days so that's normal if you have low white or red counts and they will be watching for that.

Let us know how you're doing.
