Hello,
Vomiting because of chemotherapy is treated by 5-HT3 inhibitors like granisetron or ondansetron. Those will stop vomiting nicely. If you are still having problem in-spite of medicines, please consult a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Siddartha
