Yes, nausea and vomiting are common side effects of chemotherapy. These symptoms are often referred to as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The severity and duration of these side effects can vary depending on the type of chemotherapy drugs used, the dosage, and individual factors such as the patient's overall health.

Chemotherapy drugs can stimulate the areas of the brain that control nausea and vomiting, leading to these symptoms. The medical team administering the chemotherapy will often take steps to manage and minimize these side effects. This may include prescribing anti-nausea medications (antiemetics) before or after chemotherapy sessions.

It's important for patients to communicate with their healthcare team about any side effects they are experiencing so that appropriate measures can be taken to manage and alleviate them. Advances in supportive care, including the development of new antiemetic medications, have helped improve the management of nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in recent years.
