I only vomited three times during 6 months of chemotherapy, but I had mind-f***ing nausea through most of my treatment. Sometimes I actually wished I could puke.
They should have given you detailed information of what to look out for.

Today, I asked her if she had any of the following: headache, dizziness, poor vision, mouth sores, swollen tongue, swollen throat, rash, chest pain, tingling & pain in hands+leg, joint pains, etc... But she only reported being very sensitive to grapes and apples and ice water (duh!). She still hasn't puked yet. With puking being a common chemo side effect, could this lack of puking be a sign of something bad happening later on? How many of you didn't puke at all during chemo?
