Nausea and throwing up 3 months out! Help!

My husband will be 11 weeks post chemo/radiation (5/37) on Friday, and he is still having terrible nausea.  He throws up at least twice a week.  He is still only taking in liquids as his throat and tongue are still very painful.  He does not have a PEG tube, and is down 80 pounds.

He takes zofran 3x day for nausea... 

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing nausea/throwing up this far post treatment?  Or, if anyone else has taken anything else for nausea.

Thanks!

    Compazine for nausa

    I'm 8 weeks post chemo and radiation treatment (6/38). When I did a chemo treatments, in addition to the Zofran, I took Compazine for nausa. I don't know what the difference is, but it worked. The routine the docs had me on was starting the day (evening) after a chemo treatment I started taking the nausa meds and alternated Zofran and Compazine every 4 hours for about 2-3 days.

    My mouth and troat are pretty much healed now and I eat about whatever I want. Can't taste it, but I can eat it. The only exception is anything the least bit spicy or my mouth feels like it is on fire.

    Sounds like your husband is in a very rough patch. If it were me, I would contact his onocologist and let them know what is going on with him. Best of luck to you both.
