Sorry about the money. I wish you were close by as I still have a case and a half left over.
Believe me I know what you mean about the nausea. It was my worse problem and I landed in the ER 3 times because of it. I have since said many times that they need to give all chemo/rad patients a port and daily hydration from the 4th week of Tx until we are out of the woods, like the 4th week post Tx. That said you still need to pinch your nose and swallow and then hold your mouth shut until the urge to throw up passes.
