First new combination seems to have worked!

Well, it seems to have at least stayed down. And right now that's a huge victory for me! I took the newest anti nausea medication last night, 1 hr before the chemo pill, and went to bed about 1 hr later. I managed to sleep about 10 hrs before my cat woke me up today and so far *knock wood*, my stomach is feeling ok. I mean it's a bit "meh", but nothing I can't handle. And the best part is I was able to have 2 slices of lightly toasted bread for breakfast and everything has seemingly stayed where I left it. This is very encouraging. I am a bit worried about the next 24 hours or so though. I take my next dose tonight at around 10 pm and then the next dose at around 9am tomorrow morning, I'm not too sure how taking 2 doses so close together will work with my body but I guess I will see. Mon-Sat dosing is pretty even as my radiation appointments allow me at least 24 hrs between chemo pills and I don't have radiation on the weekend so I take my pills later. However, taking my pill later on a Sunday and having to take it early on the Monday means I take them kind of close together those 2 days. I will see how it goes.
