It's me again....for those of you who don't know, I'm new to the site. My husband Jason was just diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer (upper right side is where the tumor is) & possible met on his liver. It's after 3:00 & he is very nauseous & has vomited 2 times, not a whole lot either time though. He says he feels so full that it's making him nauseous. Have any of you experienced this? I'm really worried. He has a dr's appt. at 10:00 am, but should I take him to the ER or is this relatively common? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Kris

Sorry he had a tough night.

Sorry he had a tough night. I cant remember from your other post...is he blocked. Is he still able to go? My mom had a blockage yrs ago...not cancer related..and she was vomiting all night until i insisted she go to the hospital. Did things settle down or did you end up in the er? Hope he just had too much super bowl snacks! Any time you are in question..remember there is always someone on call at your husbands docs office. We avoided a trip to the er by calling the oncall and talking things thru. I find it kind of hard not to panic with each issue.

If he hasn't had a BM, I suggest you go to ER....

It could be an obstruction...especially if the pain comes and goes, and stops for awhile after he has vomited.

If you have insurance, it should cost just a co-pay....

Better safe than sorry, I say....my one complete blockage earned me a 4-day hospital stay....

PLEASE keep us updated!!!!
