Hi everyone
Just wanting some advice with regards to what any of you experienced with nausea and vomiting.
I'm having an awful time at moment and recently had admission into hospital last week due to nausea and vomiting after my day one of second cycle chemo. I'm on cisplatin and etoposide. The result of this admission meant I wasnt fit for day 2 and 3 of chemo. They put me on a syringe driver with levomepromazine while I was I'm hospital which appeared to help. Since discharge last Thursday I've continued to have horrendous nausea and wretching is making it worse with constant sensation of something stuck in my throat - side effect of radiotherapy.
I had nausea prior to my diagnosis which I was told was result of indigestion/heartburn. I was taking cyclizine for this at the time along with omeprazole. After diagnosis of sclc I was started on metaclopromide and levomepromazine and omeprazole was changed to lanzoprazole. This was all after first cycle chemo which floored me with nausea.
I'm managing small amounts of food but soft diet only. Does anyone else have experience of anything better for nausea and vomiting as I'm really fed up with this awful feeling and dreading the next cycle of chemo. I felt the syringe driver helped with settling it but not sure if I could have this at home. I've got one more week of radiotherapy after this week and two more cycles of chemo to go.
Xxx
