Is vomiting while having lung cancer normal


Is vomiting while having lung cancer normal?
My grandpa currently has lung cancer and I found out today that when he eats he vomits everything out. Is it normal to vomit food? Please need answers ASAP, thanks.

It's normal if he is undergoing chemo or radiation therapy. If he's not currently undergoing therapy then its not normal, he needs to be seen by a doctor.

If he's having chemo, nausea and vomiting are very common, but there are a lot of anti-nausea medicines his oncologist could be giving him. Have him check to see what they can do for him (they give me anti-nausea medicine at the time of chemo, and they can also provide pills for afterward). He may also lose his hair, and he will definitely be tired a lot. There are many strange symptoms he may have (I have colon cancer, and my hands tingle like I have frostbite when they get a little cold), so don't be surprised if strange problems crop up.
