Kristie H. Hi. I posted a very similar message last night but have not gotten any responses yet. My mother is suffering terribly with nausea and vomiting and she is only in her second week. She is on Kytril and Compazine and nothing is helping. We are headed to treatment now. I will let you know if they give us any good advice. Sounds like both of us are very new to this.
