I was wondering how my husband was going to manage the expected nausea & vomiting. He was only able to swallow liquids when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma and started chemotherapy/ immunotherapy on Sept 8th.
Turns out that he had a constant upset stomach, “queasy”, but no real inclination to vomit.
2 months later & he can now eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants (with the limitations of small portions chewed thoroughly & swallowed slowly). Chemo still gives him a constant upset stomach. Still no inclination to actually vomit.
I had a lot of anxiety about this as we started this chemo stage of life. Turns out it was all for naught.
Prayers sent up just now for your sister’s wellness & peace.
(Also, if interested, Google “molecular hydrogen therapy”. This home-based complementary therapy may have played a role in the seemingly quick reduction of my husband’s tumour. Major extremes from Sept 8 (when he couldn’t swallow watermelon) to mid-October, (when he “accidentally swallowed a piece of steak”).
Did your husband suffer severe nausea and pain before any treatments? She just had her g tube placed and is extremely nauseated. Food ingestion is problematic for her.
