My wife has lung cancer and is on her second treatment of chemotherapy and first treatment of immunotherapy, she is having difficulty sleeping due to fatigue.
I was wondering if she can take sleep aid or Nytol medicated tablets when she is receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
Hello Stayclose,
I'm sorry to hear that your wife is having difficulty sleeping.
I'm afraid I can't advise on the suitability of the sleep aids you've mentioned and would suggest the best (and safest) solution is to contact the chemo / immunotherapy treatment team to ask them what she can take alongside her treatment drugs. It's also possible they might be able to provide /prescribe something more approriate or effective for her.
I hope you can find a solution quickly.
