Hi Collen,
Thank you for checking on me. Day 1 was good..the steroids and anti
Nausea drugs were terrific. Day 2 - 6 were tough. Nausea, body pain, and unrelenting fatigue that actually scared me. As of Sunday, much better. Feeling almost normal. Trying to exercise and eat well gearing up for next treatment on Monday. Thank you again. Hope all is well with you.

I had 8 rounds of Folfirinox, and my onc. suggested that I take Claritin (an OTC allergy med) once daily on Days 1 thru 5 -- it helps relieve bone pain. (Not sure whether you might have been referring to that with "body pain.")

And, pls pardon my asking the obvious, but: Do you have more than one anti-nausea drug at home? I alternated generic Zofran and generic Phenergan, as directed; Zofran didn't last 8 hours for me, as it's supposed to, so I'd take Phenergan after about 6 (and I'd take Zofran when Phenergan faded before its 6 hrs were up).

Other commenters have recommended generic Compazine and ?olanzapine?. Good luck with your ongoing chemo and best wishes for a good outcome.
