Steroids and Anti sickness tablets.

Good morning, I had my first ever Chemo infusion yesterday 

I was sent home with a pump for 48hrs and Anti Sickness and Steroid tablets for 3 days.  Can I please ask do I take these while still on the pump at home, or do I start these once pump is removed.

    I would imagine that you would take your anti sickness and steroids tablets as prescribed by your team. It will usually say this on the medication box when to take them.

    As we are not involved in your care, and to be on the safe side, it's probably best to check this out with the chemotherapy team at the hospital. They will know the specific drug you are taking via the pump and should be able to advise you further.

    I hope your treatment goes well. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,
