[quote=Anonymous]Please get access to his "My Chart". You can check the doctor's notes - that gives alot of info and you can see all his test results. The blood results are really helpful for whether he will be able to proceed with chemo each time. You will also get reminders of appointments. My husband had access to my My Chart and so helpful that we both knew the same info!

I agree with everyone that the oncology team will handle all nausea medication, but here's a few tips. TAKE THE MEDICATION as you are supposed, do not wait to feel sick that's too late, please give him the medication as it's prescribed. Best is to make a google spreadsheet of what pill and when he should take it and then just check it off as he takes its. Buy ginger beer at Trader Joes. It's magic for nausea. Figure out what shows your Dad enjoys, watch them during chemo and while recovering. Have a dedicated bag for chemo days - bring an ipad to watch shows, charger for phone, some mints, maybe a favorite snack but they do have food and snacks at the infusion center.

Good luck! Please come back and post with any questions. Praying for your Dad. [/quote]
