RS,

Thank you for your reply, at this time the only meds she is taking is ibuprofen for her lower back pain(cancer related) about once or twice a day. and then the Dr presribed Promethazine (suppository) for the nausea, it seems to work a little, it also causes drowsiness(which is good) but she is weak and I try and get her to walk, but she is so tired. I guess we will have to take it day by day and hope for the best, walking, eatting, fluids and rest....and hope for the best. Thank you again...and if anyone as I said before wants to tell me anything else to help my Mom please do. Thanks you!

Promethazine is the generic name for Pheregan, which is stronger than Zofram, and has the benefit of drowsiness and minor pain suppression. It is good for the tummy. The obvious problem with a suppository is retention. That is why I suggested the Zofram.

There are Promethazine tablets too if she can hold them down long enough. It should really do good job of prevent the throwing up. There are a couple of threads in play right now from open resection surgeries that you might want to read and follow in the coming days. All three (including you are at about the same stage). Goody2shoes has one and PGTA5 has another.
