Hello, new here, about nausea
Hope it is a good day today 
My husband has esophageal cancer, diagnosed in March 2016. He has a feeding tube and gets all of his nourishment, except water and medicine, through that. He gets an anti-nausea treatment during his treatment and has 3 anti-nausea prescriptions that he takes pretty regularly until the side effects calm down. But the nausea is persistent and he never feels really good. We look for any home remedies and try things that sound sensible and don't involve more medicine. We discovered accupressure points and use them. Cold cloths on his head. Massage. Happy thoughts. Things that divert him. He just had a long treatment Wed. and got nauseous the next morning, even with all the medicine. I was thinking about it last night, and wondered if there is sound that helps. I googled 'sound and nausea relief' today and found something on youtube. There are 356 reviews and they seem positive, so we are trying it right now. Here is the link:
If you want to try it, it is titled Full Chakra Healing by Eric Bartel. It is not unpleasant, kind of celestial. I will let you know how my husband does. If it works, he can have it on 24/7 .
He has been on chemo since the end of April and a recent CAT scan shows that it is working against the cancer, so we have fresh hope and it helps get through another session of chemo.
Blessings.

sickness. I told the chemo nurse he invented nausea So for John, controlling that side effect is important.
He started chemo the end of April and will have it until Sept. After a break, he'll have another PET scan and the radiation oncologist says they'll hit what's left.
John hasn't asked about treatments, other than the chemo and radiation. He decided to stay local, in Marietta, OH. I search online and talk to the nurses and other patients for tips and tricks to help him. I got some essential oil frankincense and myrhh, and put it on his feet several times a day. He got some physical therapy and does the exercises they recommended. We mostly stay home, because he gets nutrition through the feeding tube 18 hours a day. You are right that any treatment or aid has to be right for the person. John said recently that except he is sick, he's doing what he wants--watching tv in his recliner.
I'm glad to hear that you are out of treatment. How long did your treatment last? Did you have surgery? How do you feel? Thank you for taking time to reach out.
Is your voice back? Even if we're in the same room, we text a lot--hearing loss on the recliner side of the room But that was happening before cancer. They gave him a hearing test before he started chemo.
John quit smoking in the 1970's, smoked not more than 10 years. He worked in an aluminum plant, solvents and chemicals. Not a bit sure what caused his cancer. He pulled up old carpet in the house we had moved to, and had some pains. I told him to go see a dr. back in Nov. and he did. And saw the VA dr. in Jan. and then his family dr. the end of Jan. There was no urgency from anyone. So cancer was not what we expected.
Yes, be nice to yourself. It is really amazing how much doesn't matter any more.
