I am o,n this treatment and been ok but the last 3 cycles of it I have been vomiting and diarrhea about a week after but my consultant has said it probably the treatment and chemo tablets I Am on , 

Hi Eileen, I’m really sorry to hear this. Are you saying that you’ve had vomiting and diarrhoea constantly ?   How often do you have immunotherapy treatment?   Whist is the name of it?   I don’t think I’d cope well if I was vomiting etc.,  can you consultant prescribe medication for it?  God bless you. X

I have been given tablets but going to have to talk to my doctor has they don't seem to be working now.i have immunotherapy every 4/6 weeks also I have to have an injection for bones has they found spots on my legs which was a start of cancer I get injections every 8 weeks. Vomiting and diarrhea every treatment can last 1 day to up to a week 

You poor girl. Definitely speak with your doctor and you must have been given a 24/7 contact telephone number incase you have side effects from your immunotherapy.  You must telephone and update your oncology team. They’ll want to know.  You can call at anytime of the day.  I expect most of us will get side effects of some sort but yours are the unwelcome sort and you must tell the oncologist as he/ she will want to know and they won’t want to think you’re being so sick. 
im not a medical person so can’t offer any further help.  I’m sure you are drinking plenty of water and replacing the salts and minerals lost through diarrhoea as that is vital.  I’m told that GINGER TEA can be helpful and PEPPERMINT TEA AS WELL

I HOPE THIS PASSES SOON AND I WILL PRAY THAT YOU WILL RECOVER SOON.  
All good wishes,

Thank you for your reply my oncologist is ringing me today so I will explain to him what is going on hopefully it can be sorted 

You’re awake early!!  
Im pleased to hear that your oncologist is going to call you. As I said, it’s so important to keep him informed and I can’t bear the idea of you being so sick. 
I’ve just returned to NI after being away on holiday.  Stayed last night with our daughter and family so not actually at home. Looking out, there’s fog so can’t see all the beautiful countryside yet. I’d prefer the blue skies if Spain. 
Hope you are feeling better today. 
All good wishes. R

Hi Eileen,

Thinking about you all day and wondering if your oncologist was able to help you.   Please let me know. 
Best wishes,

R

Thank you for replying you are very kind. He didn't phone me his understudy did and she said she will speak to him and ask him to ring me tomorrow afternoon so hopefully I will have answer tomorrow thank you 

Thank you for replying Eileen.  So, tomorrow you’ll get the advice you need and I’m assuming that you’re already feeling happier that you’ve had people to turn to. I expect that today being Sunday allows your oncologist the day off. Tomorrow you’ll hear from him as soon as he gets the time. 
please let me know how you get on. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. 
All good wishes. R

Spoke to my consultant today tumor no change, got more treatment December but they have found nodules on my left femur so radiotherapy on that leg too

Told them about being sick given me different antibiotics sickness tablets to try  

I’m glad you got to speak with your consultant but sorry to hear that the tumour hasn’t shrunk. All being well, things will begin to improve soon. I hope the new anti sickness tablets do the job. Try to keep going with the immunotherapy.  All good luck and best wishes xx

Thank you I am going to keep going with everything for my kids, grandchildren,my husband who does loads for me and for myself

Just keep positive Eileen   This immunotherapy drug is our way forward. If necessary change your diet. Eat brown seeded bread, brown rice. No more white bread or processed, packet foods. Loads of fruit and vegetables eg broccoli, sprouts,green veg.  Make your own vegetable soup. Stay healthy and positive. Be good to yourself. If you feel tired, stop and rest. We must listen to our bodies.  You can buy BOOST teas in M&S. Ginger and peppermint tea help nausea. Eat organic chicken if you can get it. Avoid red meat.  
Like you, I intend to fight to the bitter end. My husband does so much for me but he’s never, ever done any ironing and I do not intend that he ever has to!!!

Please keep in touch.  I’m hoping to have my second treatment on Friday. Onwards and Upwards. We must battle on. Xx

I have been adding different foods slowly has I also suffer with IBS so needed to change my diet. I will keep updating , I hope your treatment goes well on Friday look after yourself has well speak swn x
