Hi all, I finished ten days of radiotherapy last Friday, 5 days ago, and I’m still feeling terrible. I had bad nausea and vomiting throughout the treatment and it seems to be getting worse, not better. Anyone had similar? Thanks.
Silver top I am sorry to hear you are feeling unwell after radiotherapy. Unfortunately radiotherapy is in your body for some weeks after treatment, so side effects will last for some time. You can have anti sickness meds to help with symptoms, have you spoken to your GP or oncologist about this ?
Thanks for the reply. I have tried several combinations of sickness meds to no avail. Was supposed to start chemo last Monday but wasn’t well enough, goodness knows what will happen next x
