Is burping a side effect of chemo?

Welcome @jannz, It sounds like the two of you have already been through quite a bit. Even after dealing with lung cancer for 6 years, I'm still amazed at some of the treatments. I'm glad they were able to remove one of the masses from his brain. Hopefully he's recovered from surgery.
How is your husband feeling now, after his first week of chemo? Did you have a chance to talk to his team about the burping? How are you dealing with the seriousness of the diagnosis? Do you have the support that you need?

@lls8000 Lisa, I had lobectomy end of March. Then radiation and chemo simultaneously. Radiation ended June 17. Last chemo infusion July 6. I have been reporting a gasp that happens suddenly, once causing me to aspirate some oatmeal. Dr just blew it off. Likely due to my poor description. Maybe it’s like a hiccup. That didn’t occur to me because I’ve never had a hiccup that didn’t continue more than a single gasp. I’m also having some gurgling and burping. It seems to be getting more frequent not less. I’ve been taking Pepcid for a week. Is there something that works better? Will it go away? Is this acid reflux? Never had this before.
