Hi all, My mum had her 6th and final round of chemo three weeks ago (following a hysterectomy due to womb cancer). This week she's suddenly started feeling consistently very sick.
She didn't have much sickness as such during the chemo cycles, the most similar side effects that she had were loss of appetite for normal food and couldn't eat much quantity of the things she did find paletable. She never had this kind of frequent bouts of vomiting. On Wednesday she was prescribed Ondansetron, Famotidine, Omeprazole, and vit B to manage these symptoms. She had been complaining about her stomach not feeling right since Monday. Is sickness common weeks after chemo, or do anti-sickness tablets take a long time to become effective?
My mum lives in Sri Lanka where Covid is rampant so taking her again to a hospital is a huge risk which we'd rather not take if these are normal symptoms. There is no 111 equivalent to call here for help and advice.
