Radiotherapy and nausea

Hi sorry to hear you are having horrible side effects.  Mine started after day 3 of the 25 treatments, and I took anti-sickness meds every morning before my treatments which I had asked my GP for before I began, although I know the hospital would have given them to me too, I just wanted to have them ready!  I took Imodium every day too, and just ate what I fancied, nothing spicy and I stopped drinking coffee during treatments.  Not sure if you can get the anti-sickness meds in time now unfortunately, but they definitely helped me.  Thankfully you are nearly at the end of your treatments, hopefully things will settle down in time for you.  I didn't need the anti-sickness meds when treatment ended, but unfortunately 4 years on I am still having some bowel problems.

Hugs, Lesley xx

Thank you Lesley. I tried two types of anti-sickness tablets but they just gave me a headache and made me feel dizzy and didn’t stop the sickness! Peppermint tea brings momentary relief. 

I’m sorry to hear you are still having some problems. 

Thank you - I already had IBS so it has aggravated that.  It's a shame the anti-sickness meds didn't help you.  I'm not sure what else to suggest, I hope it all settles soon for you.
