I was wondering how many people have had success with these meds: Zofran, Compazine, Ativan, and the Fentanyl patch. I was given all 4 this afternoon after my first chemo infusion of Carboplatin and Taxotere. Of course they gave me anti-nausea meds before the treatment. I had a PET scan last month for pharyngeal cancer and it showed a few suspicious areas, plus now I have a new lump with pretty bad pain just below my ear (lymph node) and an ulcerous lesion in my throat. I had been taking hydrocodone sporadically but it made me dizzy and extremely tired, so I asked the Dr. if there was anything else. I just took the Compazine and will stagger that with the Zofran to keep on top of things. Any advice/experience would be appreciated!!
