This probably should have been posted under "Currently in Treatment" but hopefully you will get responses here. If not I would repost it there.
That said, remember everyone can react differently to the same treatment (Tx) but most of us did have nausea issues with concurrent chemo/radiation. There are meds that you will be given for nausea and if they don't work let your docs/nurses know because maybe they can find ones that work for you.
Now I didn't have any surgery before my Tx so hopefully someone will respond that is closer to what you are going thru.
Hang tough.
