Hi and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about the challenges you are having.
When it comes to Nausea please do not suffer in silence as there are lots of tools available and it often is trial and error until the best one is found so you do need to talk with your team so they can help you out.
Drinking lots of fluids is very important as this helps protect your kidneys and flush out the chemo toxins but again do talk with your team I’d you are dehydrated.
A cancer diagnosis brings many questions but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer treatment journey will help you navigate this challenging time.
You don’t mention what type of cancer you have so do look through our list of Cancer specific groups, once you find your cancer type as this will be a good way to connect with patients and families navigating the same type of cancer journey.
To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
Most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
