Afternoon all.
Had a really bad start to my post operation chemo and was wondering how normal this is. Pretty much sailed through the pre-op sessions and didn't really have any significant side effects other than feeling generally rotten.
Had my first of 4 post l op sessions on Wednesday and it's absolutely wiped the floor with me.
I feel as sick as i've ever felt in my entire life and can't stop retching. Ive not actually been sick, just going through the motions and have been for the past 2 days.
Feels completely different to the first chemo both in terms of how quickly I started to feel feel the after effects are treatment and the the strength of the side effects.
Does this match anyone else's experience? I knew this part was going to be tough but I wasn't quite prepared for this. Anti sickness meds arent touching while sides. Any other tips for getting on top of nausea greatly appreciated.

Hello Russ. I’m so sorry you feel very unwell. My husband didn’t have FLOT post op as the last cycle pre op had made him so ill and had little effect on the tumour. I do know however, that most people find the post op FLOT much worse. In fact many do not complete all four cycles or need a reduced dose. I’m sure there will be others who can share their experiences with you but in the meantime I hope you can find some relief from the side effects soon.
