My Story

Do you have anti-nausea tablet for home use?I was given maxolon tablets that I can take up to eevery 4 hrs and also given Maxolon IM injections which I call the community nurses and they come and give them to me (day or night) - touchwood, Ihaven't needed an injection and apart from the 1st day after my 1st chemo have only taken an occasional tablet (the 1st day after my 1st chemo, I had to take them every 4 hrs, due to nausea, but after the Aloxi this time - NO nausea on any day - and I am Day 15 post 2nd cycle- still NO nausea)

I have had some heartburn/ reflux type stuff and take Zantac for that (I can't take the Nexium or Mobic they normally give becaseu I am allergic to them, and I already took the Zantac, so this could just be a worsening of a problem I already have), I also find the spearmint mylanta rolltabs very helpful if things get bad. I have upped my zantac use for the day before and week after my chemo and that seems to have significanly reduced that feeling too. And settled my tummy more too.

I suggest definately ask about the Alxi, personally I think it is miracle stuff, and it goes in through the Iv (for me through my port) before beginning my chemo, and I am covered for 4-7 days. LOVE IT :-). Mine comes in a little plastic bottle of powder that they mix saline into shake about and hang up on my IV pole.
