Isabelle49 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Will start chemo next week and want to make sure I have my defensive weapons in order. Has anyone used any kind of ginger hard or soft candy or teas for nausea? I do have Ondansetron, but want to to have as many weapons at my disposal as possible. Thanks.

Robert Macaulay Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Ondansetron worked fine for me and the ginger candies went to waste, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle49 Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks Robert. Has anyone used Metaquil to counteract the metallic taste from chemo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The dietician recommended a product called Queasy Drops. (Sugar free) If you buy the cookbook, The Cancer Fighting Kitchen by Rebecca Katz, there’s all kinda of helpful chemo tips in there. I never got nauseous, nurses did a great job managing my symptoms but boy I sure didn’t sleep on those steroids!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Macaulay Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I sure didn’t sleep on those steroids!! Same here every week took fourteen hours after the chemo was finished, I was right into jigsaw puzzles for six weeks at the Cancer lodge where i stayed for out town patients.

Opal Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 For nausea I used "Coke" syrup, as in Coca cola. Just sipped it and it helped with nausea for me. As for steroids, they kept me up most of night, made me eat in middle of the night and turned up my tears so I creid at everything and nothing! Whew!
