Yes, my husband takes Emend on day of chemo and the 2nd and 3rd day after. He gets hiccups from it, ongoing. I know it sounds as if he has a problem with everything, but for some reason, he seems resistent to anti-nausea meds. Funny thing is, the very first chemo treatment he had, he went home that evening and was fine, no nausea, ate dinner even! The day following that, he tried Amifostine, became severely ill, and that was the end of trying Amifostine, but it seems that he has been "jaded" ever since. I don't know if there is anything to that or not.

As far as marijuana, it is not legal for medical purposes in our state and therefore I guess not available in pill form, as I believe it could be, if legal - I really don't know. To take it otherwise (illegally), he would have to smoke it, correct? As much as I want to help him, I don't see that happening. I appreciate the suggestion just the same.

I believe the doctor may change from Cisplatin to another chemo med tomorrow due to the results of his recent urine test. I believe it was Carboplatin? Perhaps the nausea will be lessened with that. I hope.

Thanks all.
