I never heard of this but I was talking to other cancer survivors from 5or6 years ago and they had buckets by their chairs during chemo tx. There wasn't Emend back then When I told them never threw up they were truly amazed. They said the chemo room was very smelly. Having cancer is bad enough but I am grateful for the new nausea drugs. Have any of you bee through this or heard of it..val

I never vomited during
I never vomited during chemo, though I did pass out the first time. I have seen other patients get sick, but not often. The nurses got it cleaned up really quickly and I did not smell anything.
I would be repulsed by a bunch of used "barf buckets" sitting around. Hopefully the nurses clean these up immediately after use.
