What Causes Constant Vomiting While On Chemotherapy?
my sister has stomach cancer, has had 7 sessions of chemo, but they have stopped her 8th scheduled chemo as still losing weight, can t even stand, being sick and now in pain. In hospital, glucose drip to hydrate her, but can t take anything into her stomach - tried a bag today - (has had a tube into her stomach since feb.) even after anti-sickness meds still can t keep anything down. On morphine for abdominal pains. Is there any way they can get food into her if her stomach is closing due to the effects of cancer?

Hello thank you for writing us here.
Its a side effect of the chemo she's getting. She should be put on ondensteron for sometime until the vomiting subsides.
God bless you and your sister.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
