Hi all, Well, things are getting better for us. I called the nurses and told them we wanted Zofran an Ativan. Things seem to be under control so far. Richard is drinking lots of fluids and will try eating a little later today. I assumed after all the research I did that the anti nausea drugs would automatically be given with the IV. Before his chemo began they gave him a cup of pills. I'm thinking that maybe that was the anti nausea medicine. I'm going to check with the doctor and make sure. We are going to insist that the meds be given through the IV and then he can take the pills afterward. Compazine didn't work at all and I'm really irritated that they didn't give him Zofran instead. He shouldn't of gotten so sick from this. He feels better and hopefully will be able to keep some food down. Did anyone have good luck with Compazine?
