I'm starting my 2nd chemo from 3 more rounds I'm vomiting constantly I'm going home with a tpn to give me extra nutrients it's giving me 1500 calories and they just approved me for 60 ensure supplement drink I've lost weight but shockingly I'm gaining that feels good .

It's encouraging to hear that the nutrition support is helping and that weight is stabilizing - that's such an important part of maintaining strength during treatment. Many patients find that combining TPN with oral supplements like those approved can make a real difference in managing the challenging side effects that come with chemotherapy rounds. Others in this community may have helpful tips for managing nausea alongside medical nutrition support, so hopefully some fellow thrivers will share what worked for them during their treatment journey.

The vomiting will ease up after a few treatments, they have medicine also to treat it.

I would try to take the zorfran when my tummy felt queasy and that would usually help. Also, try to hydrate the day before your chemo by setting a timer. I set timer for every 15 minutes to remind me to drink not gulps but sips starting at wake up.

I went to a Marijuana place in Washington and got cannabees. It comes in honey packets and it stopped my vomiting . I went from vomiting 8 times a day to Zero.
