Hello, and thank you for posting.
I am sorry your husband is struggling with side effects from FLOT chemotherapy.
Nausea, fatigue, and diarrhoea are all common side effects with this treatment.
Do speak to your husband's team about whether they have any other supportive medications that can help.
You could also move this post to 'living with,' or 'caring for someone with' cancer' threads, to hear from others going through it. Sometimes hearing from others helps.
Take care, and if you would like to speak to the nurses on the helpline, the number is 0808 800 4040. Lines are open mon-fri, 9-5.
Sarah.
