Hi vac, I see you had 1st chemo and got bad pain. I had that but, within 8 hrs, lasted about 3-4 days. I also took the shots this last time to build up my whitecount, gave them to myself daily 6-8 shots, till the next chemo, gave me backpain. (my Docs are located 2 hrs from where I live.)For the pain I got HYDROCODONE 5/500, that worked but put me to sleep, so I only took them at night. I did fine, its just some side effects. For nausea I took ZOFRAN, they put it in the IV before chemo, then I took a pill when done, up to 3 pills per day for 5 days.8mg.. They come in reg. pill form and desolveable ones, no water needed in case it does'nt stay down. Everybody reacts different. I hope this helps and you are feeling better, maybe I'll catch you on hummb site. Ok ? Take care, hugs and prayers coming your way.......love Emmi0
