Zofran is the only thing besides the 3 meds I was given during the chemo treatment. I am at about the same point post tx and am in my second round of nausea that lasted over a week last time. Unfortunatly I couldn't get the Zofran last time and had to tough it out. I lost about 8lbs that time. This time I have the Zofran and am still getting nearly 2000 cals a day so I'm not feeling as bad. Everytime this happens my mouth fills with thrush and I lose all desire to eat. For the last three weeks I had been drinking 2700 cals, riding my bike about 3 miles, went to the gym, and was pretty energetic. Now I'm back in my recliner trying to get through this one. My dx and tx were slightly different but I'm pretty sure from the posts I've read that this is fairly normal. But I see my onc's tomorrow so I know that they will check me out to be sure it is not a bug or infection. I wouuld try to be sure about those things too. Good Lusck to you both. Lee
