If you’ve never had chemo, nausea is one of the most common side effects. People develop a pavlovian response to just seeing the chemo bag (I’ve seen it). People can even get nauseous just driving by the cancer centre. Zofran/ondansetron is one of the most common antiemetics pre-chemo meds and it works pretty fucking good, sometimes they go up to Aprepitant for chemo cause it can still make you super nauseous
I had a specific sandwich the morning of an infusion, 5+ years out I genuinely can’t think of that sandwich without getting nauseous and I haven’t been back to that restaurant since
I had 4 rounds of chemo over 10 weeks back in the 00s and I still get a little nauseous when I think about some of the videogames that I was playing between treatments
So fucking evil.

I have nausea for various reasons and zofran is a literal lifesaver. Amazing medicine
