Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Chemotherapy has many side effects like nausea, vomiting, acidity, hair loss, weight loss,  immunosuppressive actions etc.He should take Proton pump inhibitors like pentoprazol or rabeprazole  and ondansetrone to avoid gastrointestinal side effects.Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
