Nausea from Fareston. How to deal with it?

Hello all,

My wife (Stage III) was on Tamoxifen which caused her double vision. Her oncologist switched her to Fareston. Double vision reduced and remains at about 50% of what it was. But now she is having nausea from Fareston. Is there anything she can do to lower nausea while on Fareston before we stop Fareston at all? As far as I know there's no more alternative drugs....

She is 44, premenopausal, ER 70% positive. She doesn't want to use shots to shut down ovaries since that will be even more dramatic damage comparing to Tamo/Fareston.

Please, advice.

    Hi! I have some neausea from tamoxifen and use the accupreasure wrist bands for seasickness that you get from CVS. They help a bit. I also have tried ginger lollypops that maternity stores have for morning sickness. A friend uses peppermint essential oil for nausea. Hope your wife improves!
