Both the cytoxan and the pred can irritate her stomach. You can't help
her digest them more easily, but you can help to protect her stomach
lining. Ask your oncologist if he or she would recommend either
sucralfate (carafate), one of the antacids (famotidine, ranitidine,
cimetidine), or even Pepto Bismol.
I'm glad to hear the cytoxan is working for you. My Bear has JL, and
all the cytoxan did is make him feel worse. (JL is of course a
different beast than adult lymphoma.)
