Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced
"When I started chemo again for the third time, I was surprised that I had a lot more issues with nausea and loss of appetite, and also fatigue, then I did the other chemos. The previous times I only had 2 days of loss of appetite. Now I was experiencing 4 - 5 days of stomach upset, acid reflux and extreme fatigue. My chemo is Carboplatin  and Gemzar. I tried other nausea medicines that weren&#039;t very effective, or made me very drowsy. The Dexamethasone 4mg dose -1 pill in the morning, did the trick. My doctor also gave me a pill for indigestion. I could eat anything, and wasn&#039;t tired. I know I can&#039;t stay on it for very long, but I hope it will be OK for the next 9 weeks I have left of Chemo."
