I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer and had a stay in hospital to drain ascites. I am yet to have my first meeting with an oncologist who presumably will start my treatment- chemo first then op. My biggest problem at present is that I feel constantly sick despite being on two anti sickness drugs. Has anyone experienced this, even before chemo?
Hi arty sue, I saw you got a response to this on another thread but I thought I would chip in, yes unfortunately it can be a side effect. I found werthers originals really helped, not a healthy choice I know but soothing. And Carr’s water biscuits (not so good for the digestion though).
Best of luck with the treatment ahead, Heather x
