Ask the nurses Vomiting and diarrhoea weakness on lonsurf

Vomiting and diarrhoea weakness on lonsurf

Offline mermaids 14 hours ago

It’s my 8th session on Avastin and Lonsurf which my oncologist said I’m doing well

unfortunately this time I’ve only taken four pills and I’m feeling very poorly

I’ve taken anti sick ondestron and domperidone but o vomited

The intense weekness and fatigue as put me off my feet and I am struggling to eat or drink

Is there anything else I can do before I give up ?

regards Athena

I'm sorry to hear how difficult things are for you at the moment Athena.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but our cancer nurses don't work at the weekend but they will get back to you as soon as they can next week.

You can speak to one of our cancer nurses about this tomorrow on 0808 800 4040 from 9a.m onwards, but if you are hoping for some medical advice or input today we would recommend trying to get in touch with your medical team if you have any contact numbers for them, or the NHS on 111.

I really do hope your appetite returns and the weakness and fatigue you're currently contending with becomes much more manageable soon.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
