Hi animivr - just in case it helps, when I experienced nausea in the early days of chemo (Gemzar), doctors first prescribed Zofran (also called Ondansetron HCL (4 MG) and this was effective, but caused constipation (and after the Whipple, this was painful). So doctors changed to Omeprazole DR (20 MG) and I found this a better option for me.
As for pain, I add only that about 3 weeks after my Whipple, I began to experience a radical uptick in pain - suddenly. Checking the possible source out through a CT scan, two abscesses on my liver were found (and treated successfully before I started chemo). Don't imagine this would be your situation, but I mention it just to say that this can happen. Hope you're feeling better ..... JMS

Hi animlvr: My name is Russ and I am a 12 yr pancreatic cancer survivor and I used to vomit every day and unfortunately everything they tried did not work. They tried Compazine, Kytril, Atavan, and even Marinol which is the closest you can get to marijuana a still be legal. Try some of these and maybe they will help you.
Best, regards
Russ

Welcome to whatnext.com and best wishes to you. I am a caregiver for my dad with pancreatic cancer. For him, the Compazine worked for his nausea-- prochlorperazine.
