Answer 1

Answer 2

You need to get in touch with your grandmother's oncologist and explain that she has severe nausea every day and it is effecting her quality of life.

There are several different types of anti-nausea drugs (called anti-emetics) that can be tried individually or in combination.  These range from the older classes of drugs (i.e. Compazine, Phenergan) to newer drugs (Zofran) to very new and expensive drugs like Emend, Aloxi, or Kytril.  There are also drugs like Ativan that aren't anti-emetics themselves but can help with nausea.  Also some of the anti-reflux drugs like Nexium or Reglan can help with nausea, especially if it's associated with heartburn.  (I got terrible heartburn from the steroids.)  There are anti-emetics that are in pill form or that can be given by IV.  

I got terribly sick from my first chemo and needed Aloxi via IV along with Emend to control it.  

Once the oncologist can get the nausea back under control, a tip for the future.  Anti-nausea drugs work best when taken BEFORE you feel sick.  In other words, they work best to PREVENT nausea, not treat it.  So if your grandmother has to have another chemo session, have her take the drugs on schedule as a preventive.  After my first really bad experience, I started taking the drugs as a preventive and never got sick again.  My chemo contained a drug that is notorious for causing nausea and vomiting, but by taking the drugs on schedule, I was able to avoid most of it.  Ask the oncologist, chemo nurse, or the pharmacist for suggestions on when it's best to take the drugs.

Answer 3

crackers work they stop nausea

Answer 4

When you are on chemo you should be supplied with tablets for the sickness - so your Grandma needs to ask for them.

Answer 5

First its chemo...

Second- Aska docter.

I'm sorry about your gramma.

Answer 6

I've been told that smoking marijuana does help a lot, but most 87 year old people are not open to the idea.  When I had chemo for breast cancer my doctor prescribed suppositories that worked very well and when my father had lung cancer (he was 80) his doctor gave him a prescription for pills that worked.  Both of these make you sleepy, but it was worth it to me.  

Answer 7

Im sorry to here this but yes smoking marijuana really helps alot !!!If your grandmother is not open to smoking then mix it in cake mix or brownie mix.If that doesnt work talk with her doctor so the doc can know how she is feeling he can give her some kind of medication to control her nausea.
