After such an awful day on Thursday when I was ready to pack my bag and run away from home (not really), the RO took her off on Friday and low and behold, it was the Ethyol. Apparently the RO said that in Europe they don't even use anti-nausea meds for Ethyol and the patients just have to intake a lot of water approx. 1 hour prior to injection. We will see if that works, but I am definitely going to raise the points mentioned by Gail Mac. What a great post. Thank you all so much!
