Michele,

Nausea and vomiting was also a problem for us during the radiation/chemotherapy treatments. We also used several meds such as Zofran, Ativan, Compozine, Enzement (spelling ?) but we were not able to control the nausea/vomiting.

We also had reglan but we did not use it since we had too many other meds. From end of July 2005 we decided to stick to the Jvity 1cal which has about 265 cal per can. Jevity was the liquid food she seemed to tolerate the best. Plus we were able to get via prescrition and our insurance plan covered it.

The nausea/vomoting after the end of treatments does get better but it seems to go in cycles. There are periods of no nausea/vomiting when we used no meds for weeks and and then there are periods of constant nausea and vomiting when we are using Promethazine several times daily.

Thanks about sharing the info on the Queasy Pops I will look that up on the internet.

Thank you for sharing your experience and I do hope that you will find a solution. Please let us know if you do as we are interested and grateful.

Hang in there as things do begin to get better with time. Best wishes to you and your husband.

Vin
