Timing with chemo nausea medicine this weekend helped Cyndy to keep the nausea at bay for most of the weekend. We took the doctor's advice in stretching out the medicine "Emend" and give it every other day, or at least wait until she really needed it. We gave her the Emend on Tuesday as usual (the first chemo day), then gave the 2nd pill of three late on Wednesday. This held her nausea away until Saturday around noon where she started to throw up again, so we gave her the last Emend pill and it has held through today. She got some heaves this evening around 6pm but no major problems.
Tomorrow is her 6th session of chemotherapy, and since it is first day of chemo, we will again give her an Emend pill. I'm hoping that we can have have the same good results again this week and ease into a rest week next week.
