A competent oncologist will give meds just prior to infusion of chemo recipe. These are designed to reduce nausea and other symptoms. But, he will be tired for se real days and possibly have GI issues. The nurses should talk through all of this with you and supply prescriptions to help with some side effects.

Often chemo will shrink the tumors and stop the spread . Think positive and be tolerant of his need for rest and perhaps his change in taste when it comes to appetite. Most importantly, think positive and see grace all around you!
