I hope your husband did not continue with the ethyol. My wife had also a severe rush after the initial few injections. The RO gave in continuing with the Ethyol injections and she had ended in the hospital after that because of a severe rection to the Ethyol (Amiphostine).
Regarding the nausea and vomiting we have become to accept that as a fact of life and there is not much that can be done to control it.
My wife is 8 months out from end of chemoradiation and still has severe nausea and vomiting.
