Hi 

has anyone experienced an issue with sickness that’s relating to balance? My mum had her first round of chemo last week and has been fine all week but has now started to feel sick and has been sick twice the medicine she was given from the chemo suite for anti sickness hasnt helped

im wondering if this is balance related as when she gets up to walk around she feels sick she is ok lying in bed too but when she gets up also feels sick?

thank you 

  • Hi @kb1978,

    Sorry to hear about the problems your mum is having, certainly balance issues can make people feel nauseous and it could just be the anti nausea meds are not the best for your mum. It would probably be worth giving the chemo team a heads up on this as they may well be able to pick an alternative that might suit better.
