Hello Amy

Welcome to the forum. Lurking is learning on this site.

I can not comment from experience as I only have two rad tx so far and will start chemo shortly.

Two things I do know however is that chemo will make your mother sick and vomiting is not at all uncommon. Chemo is no cake walk.

The other is that your Mom is in the number one (#1) cancer center in the world. If the doctors are not alarmed then you should try to relax a little.

I know it is hard to watch someone you love go through this. And it is not easy to relax. But feel confident in the doctors there.

I have heard some say that they may try a different chemo if there are bad reactions. But vomiting is a normal reaction. I wish I could tell you more.

In your "lurking", I presume you know about the two search engines here. There is one at the top and one at the bottom of each page. Use them as they contain most answers if you have the time to search and read.

I hope things smooth out for your Mom and all goes well.

Petey
