And, besides your sense of humor, you also seem to have a very good balance between what you can do something about (anti-nausea medication) and where going with the flow is the best approach (being in sleepy la la-land really does not sound too bad). Just understanding that balance must be another way you are helping your body heal. Cathrine PS. That cocktail really does look good:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1869150427374653019.post-27840847299814349502014-04-16T23:22:56.083-05:002014-04-16T23:22:56.083-05:00Lara: Another wonderful, insightful, uplifting po...Lara: Another wonderful, insightful, uplifting post by you.

All my positive impressions have been reinforced. Dr. MGP is great and the infusion center is a very professional, high quality operation with a fine personal touch -- even upbeat, if there is such a thing for cancer chemotherapy. I was also impressed with your perspective, insightful dialog with your providers, and general attitude.<br /><br />Now a few hours later, still no nausea, but at the cost of fairly heavy sedation. With both lorazepam (Ativan) given IV to help prevent nausea, plus a dose of prochlorperazine (Compazine) -- another anti-nauseant with sedative properties when she arrived home, you're sleeping comfortably and apparently without nausea so far.<br /><br />A big hug and a kiss--- Dr. DadHHH, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064495625326358603noreply@blogger.com
