Is this Normal - awake in the early hours being sick due to chemo

is it normal to be awake at 1.30am being sick with brown smelly sick with oesophagus cancer. 2nd chemo bit I'm being sick all the time.

can't hold any food down and generally scared beyond belief

    Nothing is really normal. I initially suffered bad chemo side effects thinking that was to be expected. They changed my anti-sickness meds and things weren’t as bad during subsequent cycles - not fantastic, but not as bad.
    I struggled to sleep because my mind was in a constant whirl. That wasn’t surprising. 
    Getting through the chemo was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it did work for me.

    Good luck!
