Hello and thanks for posting

I'm sorry to read about your situation. It sounds like you are going through a lot right now.

Living day to day with constant nausea, pain, constipation and foot drop would make anyone feel worn down and overwhelmed. It must be especially hard when you feel unheard and you feel you are being treated like a procedure rather than a person, and it's understandable that repeated painful experiences have led to needle phobia.

It would be a good idea to let your oncologist or nurse specialist exactly how you are feeling so they can assess you and try to manage the side effects you are experiencing. There are a number of different anti sickness medications that may help with nausea sometimes it’s trial and error to get the right combination that will work. We do have some tips on our website about managing nausea which you might find helpful. We also have information on managing constipation that may be useful.

Most hospitals have a cancer support centre that offers information and psychological support. You can look up your nearest centre on the Macmillan website. . You may also wish to reach out to a cancer support centres such as Maggie centres that offer emotional and psychological support to people who have been affected by cancer. This can be in the form of counselling or CBT and other talking therapies. The cancer care map also lists local support services.

Patients mental health can be affected through cancer treatment and we have information on mental health and cancer that you may find useful to look at. This also lists where to seek out more help and support with this.

There is also support that is available when you are feeling  distressed. it is important that you share how you are feeling. The Samaritans  are there to talk and support you through this difficult time. They are available 24 hours a day and have trained volunteers on the phone who can help when you are feeling down.
