Nausea is a very problematic adverse effect with most chemos. Here is a link about treatment. If your father have severe nausea with vomiting he should not only have Kytril or a similar drug but dexametasone and Emend as you can read in the article.

Thanks for responding. My dad had to be hospitalized for neutropenic fever/possible sepsis. He's feeling much better. WBC is rising, RBC dropped and he may need a transfusion before he leaves the hospital. We're not sure if daddy (given his age) should continue with the Dacogen. We're concerned he's not strong enough to withstand this treatment.
