My husband has Stage 4 lung cancer, efgr mutation. He’s taking osimertinib and had his first chemo last Thursday. He’s was fine for the first couple of days but then started vomiting non stop for 24 hours. He was admitted to hospital on Tuesday, re-hydrated and sent home Wednesday. He arrived home in a sorry state and has been in bed ever since, 2 days now. He came out armed with various anti sickness drugs and steroids but still feels sick. I keep getting told to get plenty of fluids down him but it’s easier said than done when he feels sick. I’m managing to get the odd Marcel of food down him and about 600 ml liquid over the day. I need to know if this is normal and when to call for help again. It’s very isolating being with a very sick person as a non medic. I wish the hospital would have kept him until he recovered as all this is making me very anxious.
