    Varubi

    My husband had varubi (2pills) every two weeks during Cisplatin chemo, worked great. The zofran was there for backup but he never needed. It is expensive but many insurance co do cover or the chemo center often has samples. Definitely drink a lot of water, take miralax on a daily basis. Many of the pain meds cause constipation in addition to the Cisplatin needing to be flushed

    from your system. Good luck, you can do this. Take each day and look to your recovery - my husband felt it was like a marathon - never think you'll make it to the end and then there you are at the finish line. 

    Constipation

    My husband had terrible constipation last week and the doctor said it was likely the zofran.  So, he only takes that twice a day instead of three times.  He's had two Cisplatin treatments and so far has handled them very well.  He was told to take Senna and he can also take ducolax if needed.
