There are many anti-nausea medicines that the doctor can give him. When I was going through Chemo. 9 years ago, I took Zofran and Phenergan. Phenergan can cause drowsiness, but sometimes it's nice to sleep through those feelings of nausea! Plus, it gives the body some rest to work on healing.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I lost a good friend to cancer a couple of years ago. It was my experience that the vomiting is just a part of it. The medications used to remove the pain can and most often cause vomiting. My advice to you is a lot of prayer and follow your Doctors advice.
God Bless you and take care.

non hodgkins lymphoma is at lest a sore thing to have .sorry to tell u the truth if that has pained u but then the chemotheapeutic regime v follow for it really upsets the patient and pretreatment with antiemetics like ondansetron and granisetron can overcome the suffering of ur father to an extent and the positive part of the disease is that if ur father is in earlly stage he has good chances of recoverig
trust in god

There is a drug they can give cancer patients that are having nausea and vomiting problems. Ask the doctor if your dad is a candidate for this treatment. m

First of all the Dr.s treating him should be able to give him something. If you get no results , talk to someone in the alternative health fields. Maybe a nutritionist a homopathic dr or someone knowledgeable in a health food store re: his issues. If there is a good health food store around they have people who could steer you in a direction.

There are support groups for families of CA pts. Contact your local CA society, they can put you in touch with people who are or have gone thru the same thing. Bless you.

Your best bet is to ask his doctor. The doctor will know the best medicine to help him cope.
