Emend: Miracle Drug?

I started Round 2 of Phase 2 today... these drugs I will get for the next two weeks really kicked my butt last time, but this time we have a new anti-nausea/anti-vomiting medication called Emend! It has worked for other patients and so now I'm trying it. It's still way too early in the game to call it a success, but in my current condition I am in much less discomfort than I was five weeks ago at this very hour. I got down a normal dinner, and have been able to stay hydrated without vomiting. No more Doctors this week... next Monday I get my counts checked again, and get pumped with the chemo.
