I’d never considered lorazepam an antiemetic drug but it did help pass several not-so-pleasant days. No emesis, a little retching, but a constant, constant nausea first from the melphalan and later from the DMSO in which the stem cells had been preserved. I managed sips of Garotade and an occasional Italian ice. Hoping to move up to something with more nutritional content today especially since the lower bowel sluough appears to have begun. We now enter what is forecast as the worst of the ordeal, so don’t expect many chipper reports.
