Has anyone tried the Sancuso Patch for nausea? I am currently taking TAC and have tried everything and nothing works!

    Sancuso Patch
    Hi Mindy,
    I used the Sancuso patch and it was the only thing that worked for me. I had AC and then twelve weekly infusions of taxol. I had a really rough time with the AC and tried just about everything. I tried the Sancuso patch when I was on taxol and it really worked for me. I felt a little nausea but I didn't throw up. Be careful of going out in the sun if you decide to go with the patch, I wore the patch on my upper arm and it was during the summer, and I ended up with a "tatoo" in the shape of the patch. The patch can also be very expensive so make sure that your insurance approves it , but honestly I would have paid full price for it. If you have anymore questions please feel free to PM me. Love Surf.

    It certainly sounds as if it
    It certainly sounds as if it might be helpful for you. The major adverse effects all appear to be sensitivity related--either you will react or you will not. Otherwise, safety profile looks very good. Here is more info about the drug from the NIH:

    Thank You!!!
    I have also tried everything! Even Emend and that hasn't even worked! I am so sick of being nauseated and stuck with that horrible taste in my mouth :( I'm getting good feedback on it, so I'm praying it will work!
