13. Mouth Kote is what i use.

You will be prescribed anti nausea medicine. It helps. My symptoms have taken longer because of my age. Rebounding from treatment will be faster, the younger you are. I’m 72 years old. The barfing is not the gut wrenching morning after, but an easy expulsion. YMMV.

I still have the tube because I can’t get enough calories by mouth, but I am making progress. They will remove the tube when I can eat normally. I can’t chug liquids like I used to, and milk is difficult.

It hasn’t been bad just a bother.

Keep up a good attitude, be wary of signs of depression. They have me on a small dose of Zoloft.

I’m generally happy with my state.
