Hello, very new to this. I hope you can help. I am starting chemotherapy and radiotherapy for tonsil cancer that has spread to a node in my neck tomorrow morning. Should I start taking anti-sickness tablets now, or should I wait till I get to the hospital?
Hi Tractorlad and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
Obviously this reply is coming in late so you most likely are getting ready to go for your treatment.
If at any time you are unsure about anything you should have been given/or will be given the number for a chemo help line that you can call and ask questions.
Navigating a cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated……
…… support group. This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
Click on the link above……. then once the group page opens you will see a [Black - Click to Join - Banner] at the bottom of the page, click in this box and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
You can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
All the very best.
