1st chemo folfox monday, feeling terrible

Hi Kirsty87 

I would get back onto your team . The anti sickness drugs are entry level ones and they can try other ones to get on top of it . Definitely don’t suffer as there are others to help .

Take care and I hope you get some help .

My mum got an injection at one point .

Hi Kirsty,

Like you, I had terrible nausea on my first cycle, and needed stronger anti nausea meds. The side effects were so bad that I was unable to complete the cycle. My sister researched the web to find a solution, We came across Aprepitant, and asked for it to be prescribed at the next cycle. It helped me.

Best of luck,

Buzzard

Dear Kirsty 87

I hope you were given a chemo hotline number to ring. I’d encourage you to use it for anything of any concern about the treatment or its after effects. The people I spoke with were always empathic and supportive, and helped me find solutions. It’s important to find ways to keep going with the chemo, and I hope they will provide you with what’s needed to maximise its effectiveness. 

It is terrible feeling like that. I'm on my first chemo cycle too. I was given two different anti sickness meds to take for the first two days and a third type for the next nine. I hope you have been able to get in touch about them getting you some that work. There are many different types and I'm sure they can try others for you. 

What anti sickness meds are you taking Kirsty87 ?
