Hey jbentonwolfe,
Welcome! My hubby really didn't get too sick from the chemo/he had Taxol and Cisplatin and they always gave him meds first to help. He felt some nausea, but never really threw up from it. He did get some acid reflux (which he had trouble with before the cancer) and they gave him drugs for that also. Your mom is so fortunate to have you...I don't know how anyone gets thru this alone. We have a great support system and I pray to God everyday for Dan and others on this board...I will keep you and your mom in my prayers!

Debbie
