Linda, if your oncologist is prescribing pills for your stomach, presumably they'll help. If they don't, be sure to let him/her know, OK? Don't suffer in silence. Your doctor wants to know EVERYTHING you're feeling, so that the chemo experience goes as smoothly as possibleBest of luck to you, and stay in touch here - we can help.
