Hello, I'm Charlie, my husband Gordon has stage 3 bladder cancer. 

When he had his first 8 hour chemo then his short 1 hour chemo in July he was incredibly sick for 5 days after each session , kept saying that his anti sickness tablets where not working and he was becoming highly aggressive on his steroids. 

We contacted oncology hotline and explained what was going on. They said they will put in the notes what was happening and to recommend no more steroids and to come off nausea meds. 

When his second round came for his 8hr and 1hour he said about oncology recommending a different anti sickness meds but they said there isn't anything so he had the chemo with no sick meds and no steroids. He is having the GemCis, now he is incredibly wobbly on his feet, feeling weak and more sick than before and getting agitated with the hospital by saying they aren't listening to the patient. He's had 4 anti sickness meds for round one and they made him vomit for 5 days and backed up for 5 days. 

He feels he can't ask the hospital for anything anymore. We know there other anti sickness meds through the NHS for  cancer patients but anrt they supposed to try everything to work out a rhythm that works.

Please can someone advise us. His next 8hr chemo is on the 10/09/2025 then 1hr 8days later.

From Charlie and Gordon
