[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the most effective medications (like Zofran, or Ondansetron) are going to be prescription medications, and oncologists are very familiar with prescribing them. What does his oncology team have as a plan?

Or were you asking about over the counter herbal things to use as adjuvants, such as ginger chews? I can't tell. [/quote]

Thank you.
Unfortunately we don’t even know the names of his chemo drugs. He’s starting this week and the doctors didn’t tell him what they will give him.[/quote]

Ah. There should be a contact point for him with the team, usually an oncology nurse. This is who (or at least the phone number where) he will call if he is having bleeding, fever, or other concerns that don't require the ED.

Has there been anyone present with him at all the visits, and/or is there paperwork you can look through? Failing that, the chemotherapy will likely be given as an infusion. Can a reliable family member go with him to the place where they give the infusion and ask for more details?

There is almost certainly some information he either doesn't understand or is not telling you.[/quote]
