Capecitabine

My husband is on his 4th palliative chemo cycle, following stoma surgery and radiotherapy. Oxaliplatin infusion on day 1 of each cycle, and then Capecitabine for the subsequent fortnight. It's alot of needles and tablets for my previously needle- and pill-phobic husband. 

The Capecitabine makes him very nauseous. Strong anti emetics can only be used 3 days at a time.  I'm afraid retching and vomiting would seem to be normal. Total energy drain and breathlessness. A raft of other side effects which play swapsies from week to week. Everyone is different. All you can do is take one day at a time. I wish your husband well.

PS it sounds like you need noise cancelling earpods. I listen to stories thru mine, to make the white noise.
