I battled nausea until almost 2 weeks after tx ended. The most important thing (one of) is to make sure you keep him hydrated and fed. Also watch out for contispation. None of us would want to relive our tx experiences but we made it through and he needs to understand that. We aren't superpeople either. HIS GOAL NOW IS TO SURVIVE THE TREATMENT.
