Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of side effects from new chemotherapy is more likely.
So give him pantoprazole and ondensetron for vomiting.
Give montelukast him Buscopan for abdominal cramps.
Tell him to drink plenty of fluids. Avoid hot and spicy food.
Don't worry he will be alright. Encourage him to for next chemotherapy. Better to give pantoprazole, ondensetron before he giving chemotherapy to prevent side effects.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
