Hi everyone. I was re-reading this post because my husband has been having a hard time with nausea. The med oncologist acts like the drugs he is getting to fight the nausea should be taking care of the problem. When we asked the RO if radiation causes nausea, he said no, that it might if he were treating some other area than head/neck. However, the med oncologist said there are cases of radiation induced nausea. Does anyone know if radiation for oral cancer typically causes nausea? My husband has had 16 RT's so far. He did his second round of Cisplatin yesterday. It is challenging trying to keep him hydrated and nourished at home. Also, is there any rule of thumb as far as when taking meds orally, then vomiting afterwards, how long the meds would have to be in your system before they come back up? Thanks.
