Hi all:

I just started Chemo (Cisplatin) and radiation, and have been unable to get much nutrition down either my throat or food tube. I am on several meds including Emend and Prochlorperazine for nausea....they still leave me feeling pretty ughhh.

Does anyone have any tips on foods which might be more tolerable? Also, I am concerned about my food tube; the hospital never gave me any directions on it. Other than flushing w/saline solution after feeding, what other maintenance does it need?

Thanks again,

Mike
