After day 1 of second chemo session I was in the bathroom from 3:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. or there abouts being sick to my stomach. Not much came up but lots of nasty taste. Maybe I should take the nausea pill before I go to bed even if I am not nauseated. Cancer is no fun but with the love and prayers of my "cutie club" I will get through it again. Thank every single one of you for being out there in cyber space with hugs, I tell everyone I meet about you all!
Hugs, Debra

Thanks, by the time I figure out I need a nausea pill it is too late and it comes back up. I should just take one the first couple of evenings after chemo.

Yeah, I need to take them before I get nauseated. Most times I don't get sick, maybe 3 times after the last session.

Thanks Jerri, I am doing my best, staying positive and keeping my sense of humor. Hoping to have a port put in soon cause my veins are getting so small that they have trouble getting one now. I wish I could give out hugs but only flowers for all of you wonderful people.

I would probably load up on the nausea pills before I even went for the treatment. My father would have called that false hope but I'd thing of it as being better prepared. Have you noticed any improvement in discomfort from your first round? Your in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. Hugs

Thank you, I just need to take it in the evening instead of waiting so long. Didn't need it before so thought I wouldn't this time.

I'll tell what. If you take your anti-nausea every night, I will take my pain pills. Maybe I will sleep better too. A BIG HUG to you and in addition to prayers, I am sending you as much strength as will fit in the hug. Keep on telling us how you are doing.

Deb when my hubby was on chemo he found chrystalized ginger(gotten at health flood store)helped with that awful nausea. He would nibble a bit from time to time. It's kinda like candy. Personally I liked the taste./Lillian

I have heard that black licorice is good too, don't care for ginger. I'll figure out something.

Yes take your nausea pills, it is no fun to sit up with that after chemo effect,. What are you to take? I took zofran and it sure helped. Do you have to give your self shots to boost your blood? Still praying God is still hearing all of us, KEEP THE FAITH, even when it gets hard!

It would be easier if the people around me could ease up, I keep turning the volume down on the TV and he keeps turning it up, I can't think straight. Ondansetron and Prochlorperazine for nausea.

I am sending you hugs, and prayers. I do hope it gets easier for you with less nausea. Maybe it would help to take your pills as soon as your treatment is done or maybe even before??? I am not sure about that one. We are all praying for you. Hugs, Mary

OH my dear Debra, I was so hoping that you would not have any nausea - but if there is a way to do this - that will work - I hope you figure it out - I hate more than anything to be sick or feel sick and that nasty taste is the worst - I have been having a metal taste in my mouth from these antibodies and that is sickening to me - I can't even imagine what you are going through - I will be praying for you and sending you cyber hugs - hoping that it helps - I am glad that you have support from around the world - we love you lady!

Oh yes, the metal taste is bad, have had it before but not this time. Can't even diet with this, drat!

My sweetie I thought on you the hole day and how you are doing. Not good to hear about you feeling sick :o( Do you know Vomex? That saves me during the pregnancy (I took the juice-version for the kids :o) cause nothing stayed in my stomach not even water.
Maybe some acupuncture-needles will help?
Feel yourself enwraped with all the energy and love from us all here...
Hugs to you my dear

Have not heard of Vomex, I am getting plenty of food to keep up my strength though. Just have a little bit of pain. Doing pretty good for now though.

Debra, DO take the nausea med to ward off that gosh awful feeling! My prayers for you are ongoing still and will continue through this battle. May the Lord provide you with strength for the positive perseverance needed to win and regain your health.

You are an inspiration. I can not imagine having to endure chemo a 2nd time.... dealing with unimaginable pain in your bones...and are still a genuinely nice, compassionate person.

Thanks Linda, if someone told me 20 years ago I would be dealing with this I'd have thought they were crazy but I will deal with it!
We do all think we are invincible. Turns out we aren't. It really is too bad we all can't "live today like it's your last". Even after being sick, I'm sure I am wasting time.

How are you doing today? I hope you feel ok.

Doing OK today, hope to go out for a bit as the temps are suppose to be nice for a day or so. Pain patches are doing a very nice job so can't complain too much. Next chemo is Feb. 8th-11th.
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling ok. Not much of a break between treatments.

I think of you and pray for you. I always take my nausea tablet before I go to bed, and then when I wake up again. When the nausea is really bad, they give me a suppository to insert, otherwise nothing help because the tablet keeps coming back with next wave of nausea. Hope you feel better today. God bless you and hubby.***Lovies.

Thank you. I don't get nausea every day, just now and then but usually the first or 2nd day of chem. I get 3 days in a row then skip 2 weeks. Am not feeling too bad. Hope you feel good.

Yes it does but I only really need them on days I get chemo. The rest of the time I seem to be doing OK. Just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward.
