Hello Skippy.

A friend of mine wore them whilst having chemotherapy and only suffered from mild nausea BUT my husband didn't wear them when he had chemo and again only suffered from mild nausea. Both were given anti nausea drugs before the actual infusion as well as preventative tablets to be taken for 4 days post infusion. Protecting the gut with tweaks to the diet also helps like avoiding over spicy food, no unpasteurised food, wash all fruit and veg and avoid things like salad leaf, no raw or undercooked eggs. I served up only cooked food and spread them little and often so as not to overload the system and to keep him regular. The trick with the anti nausea drugs is to take them preventatively - it is too late to take them only if you start feeling really icky.
