One thing I found helpful for the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy agents is the ReliefBand. It is a FDA approved device which is worn on the wrist which stimulates the P-6 meridian (an accupunture point known as the median nerve in western medicine). It slows the peristalic waves in the stomach and really helps the nausea. It also will work after the nausea starts which most medications will not. In our experience, about 70% of the users get complete releif with the other 30% getting partial to no relief.

Hi Amy,
What I want to know is why that my brother's doctor tell him it's ok to have anything and everything to eat so he can gain weight and get strong before his bone marrow transplant. It states that cancer feeds off sugar. So why is that his doctor says it's okay to have sugar?
Thank you
Margaret
