    On second thought

    I guess there is the type of puke that follows the drumroll playing while the nausea has its way with you first. It has been some time forunately but I rememer the nausea feeling then just sticking my finger down my throat to get on with it. Breakout puke - Let's get the party started! lol

    Joe offered up the

    living description of break out nausea.....LOL.  You're perfectly fine one minute, then suddenly you have less than 10 seconds to figure out where to unload.

    Three... ~ Amifostine (ethyol)

    First week Monday Cisplatin, Taxotere, 5FU started, Friday 5FU pump off. Week two, Neulasta and fluids, week three nothing.... That was one cycle...

    Amifostine, I too had the daily Amifostine Injections... There are a few of us, but not many....

    I never thad the thick ropey choking phlegm, I attribute that to amifostine, whether or not that's the case, not sure...

    Also, I never had thrush or mouth sores... I attribute that to a slight modification of the standard, baking soda and salt rinse and spit... Mine was Hydrogen Peroxide and baking soda rinse and spit... (in about 4 oz of water), a tablespoon of H2O2 and half teaspoon or so of baking soda...

    I think you're right John....

    about the Amifostine taking care of the ropey mucous....I never had even a tiny hint of it either.....tho the mucous wasn't even mentioned in relation to getting it.  The whole reason they gave it to me was to protect my saliva glands during rads.....and protect my kidney's from the chemo.  Still have dry mouth, however.....but I was happy to skip the mucous Laughing.

    Never got any other IV after first day of infusion cycle and never got any Amifostine. When I mentioned this to the RO, it seemed he had never even heard of it, so it is not one of the common drugs.

    << I never thad the thick ropey choking phlegm, I attribute that to amifostine, whether or not that's the case, not sure... >>

    I never had any of the ropey or any phlegm symtoms during chemo; nor did I have any nausea or vomit symtoms; just fatigue, chemo brain, lack of appetite, and a few mouth sores at the end of cycle III. I took up your suggestion about Hydrogen Peroxide and that helped lick the remaining mouth sores, much less painfully the applying salt directly on the sores. Now that HURT! but works great at healing and stopping the pain after the initial OUCH. lol

    << however.....but I was happy to skip the mucous Laughing.> 

    I guess once I get going next week in CRT, will just need to see how much if any of the ropey type of phlegm I may get and mucositis (mouth sores). I am going into CRT feeling really positive side effects from the chemo side are going to be very minimal based on how I survived the triple cocktail chemo and the planned use of carbo rather than cisplatin and the lower weekly dosage. The MO was quite reassuring that I should really have much few side effects of the chemo. Guess he is tired of being the bad boy and happy to hand the baton to the RO and blame him for making me feel bad going forward. LOL

    Still in Hospital:(

    Thank you all so much for all the information. As I stated earlier on Thursday afternoon she was admitted to the hospital and she is still there. Her blood count is down and potassium is low. She still has thrush and severely nauseated. I think they have change nausea medicine a few times. Also she has been NPO since Friday morning... Not sure why???? I have been at my daughters dance competition this weekend and will return Sunday to check on her. My sister did tell me they have started her on tube feedings if I can remember correctly! Things have been a little crazy!

    Projectile Vomit...

    You don't even want to be close to me if nausea hits me, LOL...

    I've always had problems with vomiting, as does my daughter...

    When I was a kid, I got motion sickness easy... Stick me in the back seat, and more than likely you would get hit in the back of the head with vomit, LOL..

    It's not pretty...

    I can feel the sickness come on, and within about 15 - 30 seconds, I'm like Linda Blair in the Exorcist... Spewing vomit out 3- 4 foot, through the nose, everything, LOL... Totally not something any of you would want to witness, or have happen to you.

    Thankfully, I rarely get that sick.
