He was on a cannabis oil trial to help with the nausea but we've found in the last week it's actually making it worse so we are at least getting a slight reduction in the nausea now and his daily vomiting has stopped thankfully. He has a scan scheduled in 2 days to see how hes progressing and if the chemo isn't working they'll be switching him to immunotherapy. Not sure on side effects from that yet but we'll tackle them if we head down that track.
