I'm sorry your husband is having a hard time, but take some comfort that MANY MANY of us were there ourselves and got "through" it.
For me, a combination of Emend and Zofran worked wonders. You might also try giving liquid nutrition at different times of the day and/or at various SMALLER intervals.
Remember that the human mind can play a big role too (not suggesting here that he is included in this group), but I know that emotions and phyche played a role in my nausea sometimes too.
I know also that heartburn was a MAJOR factor in my nausea and overall discomfort so be sure and monitor that.
Can he take ANYTHING (even water) by mouth at this point?
