Nausea from Radiation

Radiation therapy and chemo nausea + vomiting seem to be treated the same way. Your friend should ask her oncologist to prescribe her an antiemetic. There’s a segment in this article on ANTIEMETICS .

I was prescribed Dexmethsone each morning for 2 days after treatment.

I was also prescribed metoclopramide hydrochloride pills to take whenever I felt nausea coming on after that.

This combination worked very well for me. I could not have got on top of the nausea and vomiting without them.

I also used the natural things like drinking lots of water, eating crystalline ginger, eating bland food with no strong aroma etc!

isadora2021,

Thank you for your response and for taking the time to send those pictures. Yesterday, my friend was prescribed Metoclopramide. She said it's helping. But I'll let her know about the other medication, as well.
