Dear Diana, John and Joanna,
an afterthought to Dianas message and the one I sent earlier. There is
an antinause medicine combination that worked more successfully than the
individual pills, like zofran, kytril, compozine, etc and that was
prescribed to my Barb after a number of unsuccessful after treatments of
chemotherapy and bouts with nausea. Many of the hospitals are going back
to that combination as it is less expensive and more effective. I have
the combination and a recommended dosage given to us by our oncologist
and parmacist should you desire. Pls let me know.
God Bless
