My palliative staff put me on round the clock meds for nausea-starting the morning before treatment started. He had me alternate Zofran and Phenergan every 4 hours. I set my alarm at night and took the meds around the clock for the first 3-4 days. It really helped make the chemo tolerable.

Also-if your appetite drops, I found Fairlife PROTEIN drinks much more tolerable than Ensure and the other options out there.

Finally--don't get worked up about all the side effects listed. Everyone is different and you may not experience the same as others. Chemo sucks, but you seem positive and your overall health is otherwise good so you may do just fine. 🙂

I hope your treatment went well. Make sure to keep the fluids flowing to flush the chemo out of your system. You’re going to feel tired after the treatments and take all the rest you need and pace yourself. Chemo will build up in your system so after a few treatments you will be effect more.
Stay Strong! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
