Not the most pleasant of topics, one of many unpleasantries on this journey. My system could not cope with codein or opiates at all, constant N &V, after sometime the team decided I was sensitive to these two beauties and put me on Morphine substitute. All going well, N&V lessened and all seemed to be on track. However, I seem to have taken a step back, after a six week gap since radiotherapy, which I have now discounted as the source, I have started with N &V again,. My poor palliative care team are at a loss, the next plan is a syringe drive to try and get my system settled. Sorry for the story, has anyone any experience of this, if so any advice will be very grateful received.
Hi
Sorry to hear you've been having a hard time with this. I don't have any experience, I'm afraid but I wanted to say that you are welcome to post this in the main Breast Cancer group if you don't have any replies here. This is a much smaller group and some of the people with secondary breast cancer post in the main group, so you might get some answers there. You are more than welcome to use both groups.
Hope it settles for you soon
