Acid Reflux
George never threw up with chemo, never had nausea, but he did have acid reflux, burped up a storm. Now, he did have acid reflux before we knew of the cancer but to me it seemed worse while on chemo. You could hear him burping on the other side of the house, poor guy, and if you are burping hard then it could cause you to throw up.
His anti-nausea during chemo was Anzamet, given IV, before chemo and he never experienced any nausea. I don't see many getting this but it worked like a charm for George. The thought of taking big pills before chemo when you have acid reflux was not appealing to George so he was glad to get the IV of Anzamet.
Hope this helps.

My husband never got sick on chemo before either. He was on chemo every two weeks, then he had his scans and he is NED - so they moved him to chemo every three weeks. He will be on that for the rest of his life. Ever since they put him on the every three weeks chemo, the side effects get worse with every one. He also gets anti nauseau through IV before chemo - that used to work, now he's sick by the second night. I told him that I thought it was acid reflux, as he used to get that alot before he got his c-pap machine - then it stopped. Next treatment he is going to tell the onc about the reflux - hopefully she can help him.0 -

Hope he gets some relief soon.

Aciphex works wonders, but the change in my diet and the vitamins are what really took the reflux away.0 -

Hi,
I have acid reflux but not sure if it is from chemo. (3 years ago now) Turns out I have hernia which causes it. I could see how acid reflux might be an issue for chemo patients though. I did have some stomach and intestinal issues during my treatment. Ask if you can take Nexium.
Cheers,
