Thumbs up 1 down 6 to go - cycle 1

Piece of cake .

I took 1-8mg Zofran tablet about an hour before they hooked me up to the IV.
It took around 30 minutes, and I walked out feeling no different than when I walked in except for being hungry.. Its now 2+ hours, Still early in the game but I'm sure glad those encouraging comments erased the fears of the not so encouraging ones I read elsewhere and there are a lot of them.
Zofran costs a lot of money so insurance companies don't want to pay or require authorization from your doc. However, there are generics ONDANSETRON HCL that only one pharmacy in this area carried. Costco had them they charge 27.00 for 60 of them as opposed to 14-16 bucks a pill for "formulary" Zofran. Had I not found them at Costco I would have had it by IV drip prior to the Vidaza increasing the infusion time by 15 minutes to satisfy my insurance company.
