Upset stomach after chemo

I finished chemo about 7 weeks ago but am still suffering with an upset stomach and reduced appetite. How long do the symptoms last for? 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Faithy although I'm sorry that you're still suffering from an upset stomach/reduced appetite.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their advice and experiences with you soon but if you're worried do be sure to get in touch with your doctor or medical team.

    Our cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to talk things through with them as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope things start to improve soon Faithy.

  • Hi, have you tried probiotics?  We found it helped my husbands' stomach upset imrove after chemo, it helps replace the 'good bacteria' that can get destroyed during chemo.
