Hi well i have stage 4 rectal cancer spread to lungs and on only 2 sessions of chemo every 2 weeks . had hard time on first one with too much toilet and lost 12 ish lbs in 2 weeks. I have to be on no fibre or fruit diet. Now suffering with what feels like constant indigestion and nausea. Am on nausea tablets  but any good tips out there please ? 

  • Hi 

    Sorry to hear you are feeling nauseous. Have you only tried one type of nausea tablet?  encourages people to discuss it with their team as there are different types of anti nausea meds and they are inclined to use a cheaper one first .

    Others have had success with a different tablet .

    Take care ,

  • hi, Norm, some anti nausea tablets worked for me others did not. It's worth trying different ones that will suit you. Ginger biscuits helped those feelings you mention as did a fizzy drink which made me burp but helped with those feelings.

  • Hi @norm def mention it to your team, constant nausea is so unpleasant, they gave me a stronger anti sickness and it def worked. I was also prescribed omeprazole for the indigestion.

  • Just thinking  it might be worthwhile running this by your team today just to check . Sometimes other interactions occur and they like to know about it .

    Our helpline staff could also help or your GP but get the assessment and help you need .
