Hi 

My father in law has stomach cancer and is new on the treatment. He decided against surgery and is on chemo and then chemo tablets.

The problem is he’s been sick for days struggling to keep water down. He’s worried as he has to take chemo tablets in the morning and then 10 hours later. 

He took them this morning and then was sick straight afterwards.

Has anyone else had these issues and have any tips to help him? 

Thanks

Angie 

  • I’m sorry to hear your father in law is struggling, have you tried contacting the rapid response team in your area or perhaps call  the Mackmillan helpline, I hope you get some help soon x

  • Thank you his sister is trying to get through and I’ve left a call out to MacMillan to phone me back just was hoping for other people’s experience. Thanks for replying.
