Dad had his first lot of chemo on Thursday (EOX). he has stage four oesophagus cancer with it spread to his liver and stomach. We ended up in a&e Thursday night with him being very very sick, throwing up dried blood (due to internal bleeding of the tumour) and he's been on chemo pills and antisicknes pills at home.
It has been going okay but tonight he's being very sick again, regardless of the pills. We think it may be due to him having eating a bit of a rich dinner that hasn't agreed with him.
It's horrible seeing him this ill and obviously seeing and hearing anyone vomit that much is unpleasant. Does anyone have any idea how long this usually works and any tips on how to get through it as easily as possible? For him and us.
Thanks. V.
