They started him on Emend, an anti nausea pill the day of chemo and one each day for two days after, and they also started him on another the day before, day of and 3 days after (2 a day). It seems to help somewhat. The also added steroids in the treatment which is supposed to boost the effect of the nausea medicine. He did have an Ensure, some chicken noodle soup, some jello and he did try some juice his sister made for him but that was a little too tart. We made up apple/carrot juice, grape juice, and asparagus juice. I thought the apple/carrot and grape were pretty good, haven't got past the looks of the asparagus to know yet though...lol. All in all he seems to be alright outside of sleeping most of the last two days .
