I had my first session of chemo on Friday and whilst I don't feel too bad, I am tired I am also getting ingestion which I've never had before, has anyone else had this and did you take anything for it? Thank you
Hi, never had chemo but ginger tea works for tummy issues. Take care.

Hi Lunalouwho, I started off with gaviscon but then my oncologist prescribed lansoprazole. Had one tablet every morning throughout my chemo and it worked a treat. Stopped it 3 weeks or so after my last chemo and not had any problems since.
Wishing you all the best

Hi, I had this with chemo and was prescribed omeprazole as the usual over the counter meds didn't help. Might be worth a chat with your oncologist, best wishes
