Side effects of tablets for the side effects of the drugs!

Just an observation really

I had my first chemo session on Cisplatin all day today I was given two lots of tablets to bring home to counteract some of the likely effects of the chemo, like nausea. I've just read the lists of side effects of Dexamethasone and Metoclopramide ....oh heck my poor liver and kidneys! 

Maybe there are some tablets for the tablets for the iv drugs!!

    Thanks for sharing this dvar!

    I am sure it will make many smile on here. It does make your head spin, doesn't it?

    I hope you are not suffering too much from the side effects of the tablets or the side effects of the tablets that counteract the side effects (and the cycle goes on!) ;)

    Anyone else encountered this?
