Hi I had my infusion of Capox on the 14th May since the 14th May I have been vomiting. I have stopped taking the Capecitabine on nurse advice. I can't even keep water down. I am now on my 4th type of anti sickness. I'm crying all time GP says if it continues I will need to admitted.

Feeling so fed 

  • Hi  

    So sorry to hear this . My mum had a few admissions but to be honest it was the best thing . In the mix she became dehydrated and a couple of bags of fluids , sorted out her electrolytes she was brand new again.

    How are your electrolytes?

    It’s so hard when it’s tough like this .

    The only way my mum could get fluids down was to sit with water and sip it a tea spoon at a time . Big gulps just came back up but it’s so important to stay hydrated. 

    Have you phoned the team at the hospital ?

    We also have used hydration sachets from the pharmacy. They helped mum a lot . Did your GP mention anything like this ?
