Hello , and welcome to the online community, I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis and problems with sickness. My cancer experience is different in that I haven’t suffered from sickness during my immunotherapy. There is an interesting bit in the information and support sections about sickness, I’ll put the link in https://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/coping/side-effects-and-symptoms/eating-problems/feeling-sick.html

I hope the above link helps, if you want to talk to others with your cancer type who might have experienced the same problems may I suggest you join the bowel group I’ve put the link below. We all try and support each other by giving our experience.

Best wishes

Take care KT
