Advice please - mum is struggling with sickness & keeping anything down

My Mum has ovarian cancer, she is being very sick and struggling to keep anything down. She has obviously spoken to the oncologist but I wondered if anyone had any tips or things that helped their loved ones? 

  • Hello K123D

    I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis and that she's struggling with being very sick. I'm not sure what advice the oncologist has given, but please do contact her GP surgery this morning as well. They may be able to arrange for your Mum to have additional medication to help with the nausea and vomiting, particularly if she is struggling to keep anything down at all. 

    If you're at all worried about your Mum outside of normal GP practice hours or are struggling to get an appointment, you can call NHS 111 for advice and support. 

    Hopefully your Mum can get the support she needs to help improve things soon. 

    Best wishes,
