  • No problem at all,try having some mints that might help you also I had ginger nut biscuits,you can do this keep thinking positive x

  • Hi, 

    I hope you feel better, I assume they have given you sicken tablets that they prescribed, and then a box of just incase ones.  Did you have a prescribed sickness tablet on the Evening of chemo?, I didn't on my first round and told the doctor I felt sickness the eve of Chemo and he prescribed one for me to have at 8pm, it made a big difference. I was really Nauseas with EC, I drank 4 pints a day for the first few days too flush it out.  My sickness usually only lasted the first week, I have just had my 4th which is Docetaxil, so a change, just getting through it. 
    best regards  Sarah

  • Hi sarah

    i just can't seem to hold even a sip of water down 

    I hope it subsides soon - and I will definitely ask 

    for an anti sickness to take the night before my 

    next treatment 

    So glad you are doing ok

    kind regards jackie

  • Oh Jackie Sounds awful,

    have you got any sickness tables? I think you should ring your team and tell them how you feel they may be able to give you something 
     

    I really struggled with the sickness so know how awful it is xxx
