First Chemo, breakfast or not?

Hi, eat breakfast you will be given a tablet to stop nausea. I wast sick once during chemo although on the evening of the day of chemo I felt nauseous and self administered 1 metroclopramide that I had been prescribed. Best wishes Shade

Thanks Shade for replying so quickly. I hadn't thought of skipping breakfast until I read that and it put me in a quandary. I'm grateful for your response thanks  

Eat breakfast, it will be a lengthy session. I never felt sick. 

Thanks Coddfish, that's really comforting to know x

During my chemo sessions which seemed to last most of the day (on a couple of occasions into the evening) Sandwiches etc were brought round at lunch time, no one ever suggested not eating. I was fine. Take the anti sick meds you are given when they say. Don't wait until you feel or are sick. Chemo is tough but do-able and staff on my ward were all lovely. Good luck xxx

Thanks so much x

I always eat before I go, they do come round with food but I always take my own, hospital food is never great xx

Thanks very much, very reassuring x

Yes do have a good breakfast. I usually have eggs, tomatoes and spinach to keep me going. You’ll be ok re nausea with all the meds you are given. Good luck. EC is tough but you’ll get through it ️

Thanks so much. I did have Granola for breakfast and all went well. I had a sandwich and crisps for lunch too as I was there when it was offered. I made sure I had plenty to drink too and suffered no ill effects. First session went much better than expected including scalp cooling. I'll have to see what the next few days bring, I'm sure I'll have some off days but great start xx
