Hi Desi,
Sorry not to reply sooner. I have been unwell last week with toxicitiy issues as far as I can tell, starting to improve 3 rd day off chemo. It is important that the nausea is addressed. I had to take Zofan for a while earlier this year as my nausea was debilitating and lost a lot weight too. Have you talked to your oncologist about the nausea as there are multiple reasons we can have it.
After 7 months on zeloda ( this is my 6 th different chemo) and I also had internal radiation to my liver in April (SIRT), my gastrointestinal tract is finding it hard to cope with chemo toxicites. I am about to trial activated Alovera juice which came highly recommended from another person who had bowel cancer and has used it successfully for 7 years. This is supposed to put friendly flora into the gut and help the inflammation.
