I got the two drugs yesterday (Monday). They loaded me up with anti-nausea meds during, anti-nausea patch on arm and pills for at home (not Zofran, something stronger). Am taking non-drowsy Claratin (sp) as well (why?). Guess they are expecting something I’m not wanting to get! Am isolating except for in-home care, and occasional quick shopping (masking, distancing, sanitizing).

They had me use Claritin to help alleviate issues with nasal lesions and it also for some reason helps to block bone pain. I wonder if your anti nausea was Emend, that stuff is a super hero. It sounds like everything is going good for you, I hope that continues to be the case for you.

@marys1956 With the anti-nausea meds in your infusion and the patch as well as pills for home your cancer care team is really on it. I've had a terrible cold (not COVID) that is going around so there are yucky viruses out there. You are wise to isolate as much as you can.

I know you were so frightened before the infusions started. Now that you have had some, are you feeling less nervous? How are you feeling today?
