When you spoke to the nurses, did they say this is only for the few days right after chemo? Usually, the nausea after chemo lasts only for two or three days and you are back to normal. My husband had palliative chemo as well and the nausea didn’t last for more than a week. While that’s happening, he just had whatever he could and drank a lot of water to prevent dehydration. Anything dairy also seemed to be a problem. I would suggest talking to the nurses again and see what their suggestion is, or try to go in and see your doctor and see if they could give you a strong anti-emetic for the nausea.
