My partners Mum is half way through radical treatment for sclc and the side effects from 2 weeks radiotherapy twice daily plus 4 hr chemo on 1 day during the week has resulted in her not eating at all. She has burning when swallowing and constant nausea too. What can help with these symptoms to help her eat, dietary advice or other solutions
Hi and welcome to the online community at what sounds like a very worrying time for you and your family.
I don't have any experience with treatment for sclc but I see that you have joined the lung cancer group and I'm sure if you post your question there you will soon get help. Clicking on the link I've created will take you back to the group where you can create a new post by selecting 'start a discussion'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your partner's mum's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
