My dear wife has been in pain and discomfort for months leading up to the first chemotherapy session and she is suffering sickness in a poor way. The sickness tablets she was given did not do to much and the prescribed tablets only, taken with the other tablets she has to consume, do very little also.

Is there an approximate period or number of days when the sickness subsides?

I fear she is already loosing her will in this battle and she still has another three sessions to go in three weekly periods.

Thanks for listening.

Don't know which chemo she is on but she needs to talk to her oncologist or Macmillan nurse. I was told no one needs to feel like that these days and they have lots of options for preventing it. It is horrible, and so hard to deal with. Contact her team and speak to them ASAP.

Feel for her and sending love

Sha.

I would agree with Sha. Speak to your oncologist. There are lots of different options to try. It is just as hard for the partner looking on and feeling they can do nothing to help. Just be there for support is all you can do. Lots of love and hugs, and don't be upset if she gets upset with you. It's a stressful time and you just have to get through it. Take care and I hope it improves for you both xxx
