Hi, looking for feedback to cope with treatment. Just started radiotherapy and chemo. Anti-sickness works ok but massive heart burn and hiccups. Welcome any tips. Thanks.
Hi Nicolas welcome to our small community sorry you’re here. Good anti sickness medication is working. Heartburn and acid reflux is quite common I was prescribed omaprozole. Tomorrow mention it to your team they will be able to help you. As for hiccups sorry didn’t get those.
I have a blog details below lots of tips on there my cancer was tonsil cancer so higher up than yours but treatment side effects will be similar.
keep in touch
