Hi just wondered has anyone experienced sickness and diarrhoea most days on this chemo please it’s wearing me down thanks Jo m

  • Hi  I had a stoma so that made the loose bowers a bit easier to deal with but was also given loperamide to help with that. You can take up to 8 a day and 30 minutes before eating. The sickness meds can be trial and error and they often start you on the cheapest first. I’ve heard that Emend can be a game changer if you can ask for that. They may also reduce your dosage if the side effects become intolerable.

    Hope things improve on your week off

  • Hello,

    The best anti sickness I found after trying them all was Akynzeo. 

    Take care Relaxed
