Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically vomiting and nausea are usually associated with patients undergoing chemotherapy due to the effects of these drugs regimen on the alimentary tracts. This is because this curative measures(drugs ) damages the epithelial lining of the alimentary tracts,leading to inflammation and loss of cellular structure.However after the chemotherapy procedures has ended , these epithelial lining regenerates and the cells of the digestive tracts are returned to normal structural forms by the layers of embedded stem cells.
