Chemotherapy sickness

Hi Cindy

I have completed 5 cycles of chemotherapy and have not been sick at all.  The team give anti sickness medicine to help keep nausea and sickness at bay.  Keep up with the meds and keep hydrated and you should be ok xx

Hi Cindy, I agree with what Winnie has said. 

Do you know what kind of chemotherapy drug you´ll be having? Some have more of a reputation for causing nausea than others but of course it depends on each person how they respond and as Winnie says, we´re given anti nausea drugs to help.

For me, I suffer the first few days afterwards with constipation so I try to drink lots of water and eat fruit each day. That doesn´t happen to everyone though but if you experience that, try not to worry as it is a typical symptom.

I hope the feedback you get on Thursday is good news  xx 

Thank you that is really reassuring. I must admit I feel I can cope with most of it, it's just the thought of sickness all the time is really daunting. x

Thank you Doris, I don't know what drugs I will be having yet as waiting to see if the cancer has spread, i should get the answer this Thursday, and on next  Monday the Oncologist will let me know about the drugs x

my oncologist said the idea is for you not to have any sickness and it will be managed. I thought I'd be throwing up over a bowl every day it's not the case nowadays meds are so much better x
