Comment:
Emend was administered via IV before chemo. I had a horrific allergic reaction. I experienced chest tightness and severe pain in my lower back. This reaction caused my blood pressure to shoot up into stroke range (100+ over 200+). I seldom experience allergic reactions to medication, so beware of this one.

Unfortunately I experienced anaphylaxis immediately when they started administering Emend. I had to be switched to Compazine, which made me very lethargic.

This drug has made all the difference. My daughter's cancer has returned and going through chemo again. This drug has made such a difference compared to last time. I am so thankful.
