One of the relaxation images I have been using is a rolling wave rising up to meet a sandy beach with spray and sounds that cascade down a jagged shoreline. Now such images only make me want to vomit.
Big time nausea has entered my recovery experience with a capital "N." The wave image is now problematic. Now it's a perfect metaphor for my mounting nausea as the week progresses, Monday's radiation swells into a sea that by Friday has me crashing to a porcelain toilet.
Thankfully my doctor this week prescribed a new pill for me called, granisetron that I should take 30 minutes before my radiation. Like getting my sea legs, today's post treatment feeling was manageable, although I'm not ready to visit an ocean seashore anytime soon.

nausea may be an effect of early morning sickness. good thing there are natural ways to deal with it.
