Hi all,
hope everyone is ok.
may I please ask! Do you have much sickness with your cancer? I seem to just be sick for no reason once in a while.
It’s quite annoying, as don’t know when it’s going to happen, it just comes out of the blue.
many thanks for listening, I await your replies.
thanks
Rose xx
Hi Rosethorns
When I was diagnosed with a blood cancer in March 2015, I found that unusually for me I began to get sick or feel sick every day.
I mentioned it to my GP and she prescribed Ondansetron. A couple of those every day has banished my sickness. I've been taking them for almost 6 years now and they still seem to be working.
Good luck with your sickness Rose.

Hi both
thank you for replies and help. I’ll mention this to my doctor and see if I can try them.
many thanks again
regards
Rose
In the meantime, I've found that the absolute best thing for rapid relief is a small glass of ginger beer
I second that - anything with proper ginger in is a great anti-sickness aid.
Thank you both. I did think of buying ginger biscuits. Remember from way back when I was pregnant and feeling sick all the time
regards
Rose
Who knew? I must get some. I have donperidone if that’s how you spell it, and I take ondansatron on the day of chemo
Hi Maz, I hope the ginger works for you

Hi max and tvman
hope you are both keeping well.
well, I bought the ginger biscuits, but luckily havnt had to use them as sickness isn’t as bad at the moment. I’m eating smaller meals which seem to stay down thank goodness.
good luck
regards
