My dad had his first immunotherapy treatment yesterday, walked out perky but today woke up feeling sick, refusing food, water, tablets, really low mood and is basically wanting to give up on it all if it makes him feel this bad. How long on average does nausea last for? Hes been given antisickness tonight from gp so hoping that helps. Just hoping it only lasts a day or two cause if this is all the time, hes gonna be miserable
Hi I.dont
I've replied to your post in the skin cancer group with links to others who are having the same type of immunotherapy as your dad, along with a recommendation for your dad to phone the hospital on the 24-hour contact number he's been given so that they can assess him.
