Hi Shelly261, I remember being given Zofran. It was ok but I think lorazepam worked best as I recall.

My doctor highly recommended medical cannabis. Because of my depression diagnosis I have one doctor recommending it and one doctor saying no. So I’m somewhat in a holding pattern on this issue. I currently use Zofran twice a day for nausea.

Hi Bob, thanks for the response and support. I feel ya’, 😢 I remember those days some 16 years ago when chemo cocktail wiped me out. I inquired about medical cannabis during my relapse in 2020. The treatment administered at that time didn’t have any real drawbacks like loss of hair and appetite except one - Rituxan wipes out a B cell component that fights the covid virus. Vac or not, no antibodies. 😕

Hi MikeC... I had to take steroids too, every other week beginning that Monday. I don't know for sure but I don't think that steroids are expected to solve these issues. I'll have to look into that, although I should know the answer. My experience on them sure didn't seem to make me feel good. At the end of the week my chemo-cocktail. I lost weight, lost my appetite, all my body hair.

What state do you live in?

Depending, it's sad that you can't get a cannabis card. That's the least they could do, and the thing is, you have power as a patient. You may be dying. Other let yourself just waste away you've chosen to have your cancer treated. It's a basically to live you have no other choice. That gives you the power to, in my experience, get what I need.

The simple fact you could get a card tells me you have a clear runway in front of you.

Unfortunately steroids. Work wonders but a huge down side. My onc said she could not help me get a medical cannabis card. I gave up trying.
