Another one!

Less than one minute read time.

Today I had another adventure with my post chemo experiences....I was chatting to a friend while having lunch. She has been taking some pills and swalllowing them with water. When I was in hospital iI literally begged the nurses to give me injections instead of pills, as they just made me even more nauseaous and to swallow them with water and taste them...ahhh it just made me sick. Until today I only can take pills with a help of juice or something flavoured, otherwise I might just not take the pill!!! Anyways....when she took the pills, I imagined me taking them and I landed in the bathroom almost throwing up all of my lunch...Sorry not the tastiest blog post, but I believe many of us go trough the same.

    I remember when I started chemo the nurse told me that some people actually vomit on the way into the unit as it brings on memories of having the treatment.

    The mind works in a strange way.

    Jackie, it's not always a good idea to chew some tablets as sometimes they are coated so that they only start to work at the area they are intended for or even coated to protect the stomach lining.

    Best wishes, Christine xx

    When my children were small I disguised pills in a spoonful of jam! Good luck with the swallowing - I know the feeling.
