Tamara- my husband is very nauseated at times also. He is on Methotrexate but I think most of the nausea comes from the bowel area. The pain killers can really cause constipation. He takes liquid Senna through his peg tube everyday. He also takes Colace on a daily basis. This was recommended by his nurse. It helps to keep things moving so he is not so bogged down and they are not as strong and addictive as stimulative laxatives.

This truly is a rotten time of the year to have to deal with this. I have three teenagers and i'm trying to stay upbeat for them even though they think I'm crazy for playing Christmas music in the car. But I've always been corny like that and I won't change for this monster called Cancer. Take care and feel free to send me a personal message.
