For Dora, one of the most challenging aspects of her four bouts with breast cancer has been the chemotherapy. Dora, who’s 63 years old and lives in Monck’s Corner, South Carolina, has dealt with chemotherapy-infused nausea and vomiting (CINV) since she started treatment. The National Cancer Institute says up to 80% of people undergoing chemo experience these side effects. Through it all, Dora's relied not only on her doctors, but on her family, especially her husband, Cleveland, to help give her strength through the ordeal. This episode also features in-depth commentary from renowned expert Yanis Bellil, MD, Medical Oncologist, Lowcountry Oncology Associates.
