I was just wondering if anyone else had still been suffering from nausea more than than a week after the first dose of the above drugs, my energy levels are slowly returning, but the nausea is still present not all the time but often enough that eating is difficult and not pleasurable.

  • Hi there, I was nauseous from around Day 4/5 and didn't eat properly for a few days after that, but why not give your nursing team a quick call for reassurance.  Are you taking any anti sick meds?

    Hi there,

    Yes, nausea was an issue for me during my Docetaxel with P&T rounds. I was prescribed Metaclopromide which really helped. I took it until around day ten of each cycle, or longer if I needed it. Definitely worth calling your chemo team or doctor to see if they can get you something to help.

  • I found taking omeprazole helped with the nausea and the metaclopromide x
