Discuss with the chemo doctor why she is recommending whatever drugs she is. From what I know they all do different things to try and control and or kill the cancer cells. I tried 5 different chemo drugs and had no nausea at all. I was a little tired after some but had no hair loss or sickness at all. Does John have a PEG tube? Thats alot of weight to lose. He needs to input enough nutrition to heal and gain some weight back. Check with the nutritionest to find out how much he needs.
I wish you and John my best wishes, Danny Boy
