Happy Birthday Betsy, hope you have a lovely day.
Malt hope last chemo goes well. I can't wait to be at that stage!
handbags I can only send sympathy, as my meds work OK for me. My regime is: Emend 1 hour before chemo, and for next two morning; Valoid (CYCLIZINE) over following 3 days, perscribed for 1 three times daily but told that I can them during this time if I feel onset of nausea. I also have perscription for Lorazepan, which is a valium type drug, which I can take 1/2 tablet twice a day if needed. I have only taken that twice, but it made me very sleepy (so used it as sleeping tablet), but seemingly works very well on nausea. Hospital also gives me that prior to my chemo. (Depending on chemo nurse, it is optional to take it, incase I dont want to be too sleepy going home to kids).
But it sounds like you need something stronger, like what topsy describes.
Regarding eating, during week after chemo, I eat very lightly. I am trying to get in protein and some fruit mostly. Yesterday, I had poached egg on one slice of toast, a very small apple, and a chicken drumstick with peri peri sauce. Well spaced apart. Washed down by water for peppermint tea. Next two weeks, I'll eat more normally.
Weebarra You are doing fantastic. School run on first morning after chemo! Don't forget to take it easy too, if you can.
My post chemo present to myself is a big party! At an auction just before my first chemo, I 'purchased' a band for a night, to be used within next year. One of the band is a good friend of the family. I'm going to invite both families and the friends who have given me so much support. With big bouncy castle for the kids. It wont happen until a month or two after my rads. Hopefully June/July.
My sister just finished rads in Sept. Her post chemo present is a trip to New York, she left for her trip this morning. (Now I've totally outed myself if anybody knows me)
