My mother was diagnosed with stage 2 stomach cancer about three months ago. While performing a total gastrectomy on her they also removed her lymph nodes and found 7 of 25 with cancer. She spent about a month in the hospital after the surgery because she felt so sick with nausea, pain, and no appetite. They have her on the feeding tube that goes directly into her small intestine so she still is able get some nutrition. The two medications for nausea that they have her on are marinol (which does not really work) and kytril (which does work). The problem is that kytril is very expensive and the insurance company only covers 21 pills a month. My mom takes two of these pills a day, after 10 days my mother will be out of these pills, cutting it down to only one didn’t help (nausea came back). I was wondering if there is another pill besides kytril for her nausea that she could take? And if I could, another question that I have is should she have started chemotherapy by now? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
