Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 7 | Best of Luck to you. I just finished 3 cycles of induction chemo. Taxatere and Cisplatin and Erbitux. I had very little nausea and no vomiting. I was given Aloxi before the start of each chemo sesion and I took a Kytril one hour before the start of each session as well as noe every 12 hours for a couple of days after the session. This plan worked great for me! Only took the compazine one time and it knocked me out.

Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | Teamshrink, I had 3 Cisplatin with concurrent 35 IMRT radiation treatments. I had no ill effects until the 2nd Cisplatin which was like being rolled over by a tank. Nausea became my worst problem because it can be caused by your pain meds, constipation, dehydration and even some nausea meds. I had no tube so trying to force down water and liquid food became a daily nightmare. I am 1 month out of traetment and am finally out of that tunnel. Stay on top og everything. Tell your caregiver and/or your dtrs EVERYTHING. Don't let 1 day go bye without the proper food and water. I did and my body snowballed out of control quickly.
