I was eating oatmeal and made it with milk and when i first started chemo i found that milk seemed to make me sick or maybe not im not sure now. I think trying it again cant be any worse than what im already feeling and if so il make it with water :( Right now i have eggs and whole wheat toast for b...

Thank you for the reply. I should have given more information, yes, i get a steroid and two anti nausea meds before my infusion on Monday and then before they disconnect me from the pump on Wednesday i get a push of additional anti nausea med - i believe oxi. I was prescibed zofran first and that ju...

Hello again, I have not posted for several weeks now, I have completed 3 of 8 rounds of chemo (folfox) and the nausea is kicking my butt and so my oncologist tried this last time giving me a dose of anti nausea before disconnect on Wednesday. So that helped until about Saturday and then trying to ea...

Thank you for that information. I too was prescribed Zofran for nausea - well the generic - i already take 1/2 dose of Miralax every morning to keep constipation away as I have a colostomy bag still, reversal has to wait until chemo is complete. Im hesitant to switch to chemo on Wednesday bcuz i do ...

Well with first chemo yesterday, last night went well as for sleep but i was up early so that stinks. I do have a headache and am aching through the back of my head and shoulders - i had this yesterday and some of the achiness started on the weekend so im thinking its from stress and the anxiety so ...

Ok so i had my port placed last Thursday and I was put out with general anesthesia as i requested. Overall yes the procedure went well. I am quite tender and uncomfortable on my right chest area and side though. I am told that will subside. I had my first treatment today and it was a long day but th...

Ok, so I had my port put in this last Thursday and started chemo today. I have been home for just about an hour so nothing tremendous to report. The day was long as it was my first treatment and it did go well so far. My right chest, where the port is, is still tender and is uncomfortable. Breathing...

Thank you i will ask about this on Thursday morning then as the chemo is set to begin on monday!

I just dont understand all of the different meds and parts of treatmemts - this has hit me like a ton of bricks - it was a Thursday and i was told the results of a test they did on my tumor and in the next sentence told that chemo is recommended. My onc was there only the next day, Friday, and then ...

Thank you to everyone who has given advice and shared their story, i suppose il just get through it either way. If im gunna be sick then i will and il pray that i dont.

We will see.

Thank you weisssoccermom, I am going to ask for them to knock me out as i dont want to be awake at all or feel anything and the docs seem to be ok with that as i had a colonoscopy this past Friday and i asked for it then and it was not a problem to get. I will just ask for some meds for pain and if ...

Thank you for all of your comments and helpful tips. So im not a person to seek out something that is painful hence making the choice to go through with chemo and all which is a no brainer but still you get the point i hope. So the amount of pain is like a slam to the chest??? a bad deep wound ???.....

Ends, like at the 46 hour mark easier or harder? Im set to start chemo on Monday and have the pump until Wednesday and iv read how the day that its unplugged so to speak is kinda hard on a person. Im thinking that i could start it on Wednesday and have it unplugged on friday so then id have the week...
