Hello all, thought I would let you know I started my chemo on Monday the only side effect so far is extreme tiredness I was given anti sickness pills but had read that if you eat ginger biscuits and sip ginger beer throughout the day (I have been having half a can a day) you won’t feel nauseous which so far I haven’t. I was extremely nervous on Sunday the day before chemo started but so far so good, I know it probably won’t last but we will see what next week brings. X
Hi Gwennie this is good news and let’s look for this to continue throughout your treatment. Ginger biscuits and ginger beer is indeed one of the many things that can help although everyone will react differently m.
I see you are a member of the Breast cancer group, you may want to put this up on that group as well.
