48 hours after first chemo and not feeling good.

Hi

I had my first chemo on Tuesday and felt exactly the same as you do.

Was a tiny bit sick on Wed morning but perked up later in the day after going back to bed for a couple of hours after having a ginger biscuit, juice and tablets.

Yesterday, same again felt pretty sick all day but better later after going back for a few hours sleep.

Today up at 6am had a dry biscuit and managed a cup of tea, took anti sickness pill then back to bed for a few hours.

Drinking plenty of juice and had a bit of toast about 10am so far but not much appetite yet either.

You are not alone, think everyone is slightly different though I am starting to feel a bit more 'normal' this afternoon.

Hope this helps and it will pass for you too.

Hi and if you continue to have nausea and or vomit then let your unit know they can change your meds to one that suits you better .

Ginger tea good for nausea as well lots of tips on Chemo May 2020 thread which can be found at top of discussions list .

Hiya yes that is normal, unfortunately i didn't take my anti sickness tablets as i didn't feel sick then woosh!!! i learnt on my second treatment.

You don't say what chemo you are having i had FEC-T and found that first week really poopy, second week not as poopy and third week near enough back to normal ready to do it all over again.

I know you say you have lost your appetite but try to eat even if its only little but often, i found getting hungry made me feel even more sick. Find something you like and eat it lol i lived on cheesy garlic bread and chicken soup. 

Make sure you come and ask questions, don't think any question is silly, believe me i've asked a few and always been surprised when i've had a response from someone else saying the same happened to them.

Take Care x
