My poor hubby had his first blast of Cisplatin on Thursday, seemed OK for the first 24 hours and then just could not stop being sick. I had to take him back into hospital early Saturday morning as he was so dehydrated - he is still there. The leaflet we were given led us to believe he would feel nausea but would be unlikely to actually be sick due to the anti sickness drugs they give you. I guess he was just unlucky. Has anyone else had this type of experience? I feel so helpless as he told the nurse to tell me not to visit him today as he's feeling too unwell. The hospital is about a 45 min drive so I can't just pop over to check how he is.
hi i was very sick after my first chemo, i came home and 3 hours later i was non stop sick for 24hours and then went into hospital,for me i think it was just the shock and not accepting that i have cancer.l also fainted when they were giving me chemo!!! The next time he has chemo they should give him stronger anti sickness, i had lorazapam which calms me down so i dont faint and get wound up, the first is always the worst, it will get better, as you cannot see him just think he is getting rest cos when you feel like crap you cant be bothered to put on a brave face no matter how close you are to them, that energy being used to put on a brave face can be used to getting better. good luck you will both get through it
