Hi, I was diagnosed in December with SCC right tonsil, but, unusually it has migrated to my bones, so have the disease through a lot of my body.
I had my first chemo 4 weeks ago cisplatin & 5Fu, so pretty heavy stuff! I struggled through the first two weeks suffering severe nausea, so not eating or drinking, a vicious circle. Ended up back being rehydrated. Slowly turned corner sufficiently just for 2nd dose!
Which I had last Friday, find myself back in the same situation yet again, just marginally better as they tweaked my dose by 12%.
But the severe nausea is the main problem!
Has anyone got any ideas as to how I might be able deal with this better?
it has all knocked me for 6, with weight loss, loss of muscle lethargic, difficult to get motivated, this despite great support from friends and family! Really find it a tough struggle!! Thanks
Thanks Joe, I prepared myself for most of the side effects, except the nausea has hit with a sledgehammer! Difficult to do anything else when it is so all consuming, but keeping positive and hope it will improve 
. I’m pleased you are able to manage your symptoms, stay strong
