My mum has terminal ovarian cancer and decided a couple of months ago to not have anymore chemo. She was doing ok really and Fentanyl patches controlled her pain. However the last 3 weeks she has had little appetite and is constantly being sick. Horrible yellow stuff. She has had metacloprimide ondansatron and is now on haloperidol and cyclizine but she is still sick. She has lost so much weight and is now very frail. It’s heartbreaking to see her like this. Finally the palliative care team have got involved and she’s had a blood test today to see if that shows anything. All she has had today is 2 ginger biscuits and cups of tea and they have just come back up. Has anyone had this sickness and managed to get it under control. I’m worried she is running out of drugs to try. She is so weary with it she says she just wants to die. Has anyone got any nuggets of advice? Xx
Hi Gillyflower1328 and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear how poorly your mum is at the moment but it's good that the palliative care team are now involved. Have you told them about your mum being constantly sick as they should be able to give her something to help control this?
I see that you have also joined the supporting someone with incurable cancer group and posting there as well might put you in contact with someone who can help further.
You could also post your question in ask a nurse and one of the specialist cancer nurses will respond within 2 working days.
