Perhaps a doctor could be offered the opportunity to dismiss it, just to be on the safe side.

It is not clear from what you have written so far whether the Valium was prescribed for you and you are sharing it, or whether it was prescribed for both of you. Out of an abundance of caution, I want to point out that there are medication interaction warnings between diazepam and olanzapine, the anti nausea drug prescribed for Connie. If the Valium was not prescribed for her specifically, perhaps asking the oncologist about using it might be worthwhile.
