Vomiting
My mom had this on her first treatment. About 10 days later, she had a bad stomach ache and then spend the night vomiting. She had her check up appointment the next day and they gave her some fluids and she felt much better. I would call if he isn't due for an appointment and see about getting him in. They will make him feel better. I hope your dad feels better soon!!

Call your doctor...
I would call your doctor and see what he/she thinks. I was told to call if I had a fever, vomiting, or for anything that lasted more than a few days. It's better to be safe than sorry. Let us know how you do. Take care...Sue (FNHL-2-3a-6/10)0 -
Some thoughts...
I agree with the others, call the doctor's office for advice.
I only vomitted one time and I'm pretty sure that was because I
was constipated and hadn't "gone" in several days.
Regarding the foul taste, maybe he can rinse his mouth out occasionally
or use some mint candy or someting to help with that. There was one
antibiotic I was on that left a bitter taste in my mouth as I recall.
I hope he gets it resolved.
Hugs,

Stomach
Some chemo drugs can and will affect the sense of taste and smell. Also, for some reason it affected my gag reflex, which is now on a "hair trigger," three years later. There is almost no limit to the odd reactions that these drugs, especially when given in combinations like r-chop, can cause.
I agree with the others here that yes I would call the doc. Also, he needs to find some drink (if not water) that will allow him to drink a lot. The diluting effect of hydration should lessen unpleasant stomach sensations, not increase them. Perhaps sharing that thought with him will assist in getting him to overcome the fear of drinking, which might at this point be more psychosomatic than physiological.0 -

So shortly after midnight the vomiting ceased and now he has diarrhea. This happened after his first cycle as well, day 10. Did this happen to anyone else and will it get worse with the next cycle. My mother is trying to push him to keep the fluids going but he is very discouraged at this point.0 -

Please have him checked for c-diff - anti-biotics can cause c-diff diarrhea- I've had it 3 different times - Immodian AD only made my diarrhea worst. I pray he will feel much better.0
