Track Your CINV Symptoms
When receiving cancer treatment, 70–80% of patients may experience some form of
chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Unfortunately, many people mistakenly
believe that CINV is a sign that their therapy is working. As a result, some people
do not report their symptoms to their doctor or nurse out of fear they will receive
a less effective dose.
However, it is important that you work with your doctor to prevent
CINV. When CINV is prevented, your body gets the nutrition and fluids
it need.
