Hi Suran,

Don't suffer in silence, contact your chemo team and tell them about your suffering as it can take a while to get the pain and nausea relief balanced properly. 

Obviously the side-effects vary from person to person as well as from one chemo drug to the next.

As a former chemo patient, the only useful advice I can give is to make sure you drink plenty of fluids and, however cr@p you feel, try to maintain a balanced diet. I found homemade powershakes were good for this when I couldn't keep anything down. Google home made peanut butter power shakes and you'll find a variety of recipes. I also found that light exercise (dog walking in my case) helped me recover from the intravenous elements of my chemo regime. 

Finally - if you feel you need to sleep, give in to it as this is your body's way of recoevering.

Good luck!

Dave

Many thanks for your kind words I really appreciate it, I will tell them on next visit and bedtime time will be more prepared with pain killers,

The volice  is  returning  and hopefully today will be a better day :)

I had chemo two years ago, I did not suffer too much.  I am sorry you are in such pain, but the unit in the hospital told me that they are contactable day and night if you have any problems - maybe you could contact them if things don't get better.  I did have some headaces but took painkillers and those cool pads you put on your head.  I also found taking small walks helped (if possible) - as I suppose this helps get the chem through your body.  I also drank quite a lot.  I felt sick for the first few days of each chemo session but the doctor helped me control this with medication.  Feeling unwell only lasted about 7 days, and from then on I was O.K.  When I had the second treatment I told the nurse who put an extra bag of fluid through me before chemo.

Hope you feel better soon, I thought the time went very quickly.
