Hi Stephen,

All the others have said valuable things. There's one thing I'd like to add: if the nausea continues or gets worse, please contact her medical team asap. There are different types of nausea meds, and some work, while some don't for individual patients. They can stop working too, so keep asking. Some of these meds are quite expensive, so most doctors try the cheaper ones first. This leads to unnecessary suffering.

And perhaps it is good to know that I was diagnosed in 2004 and am still cancer free.
