Hate to be a moaner but I have had two chemo sessions,and both have resulted in trips to hospital because I end up dehydrated,I am very sick after each session.I am stressed over this as it means each cycle is going to take that little bit longer and my recovery time will be extended.Would appreciate any advice from you wonderful people,thank you for being here.

    Hi Emma,

    Welcome to this forum.

    I cant offer any advice but just wanted to say, some people have very few problems with chemo while other seem to suffer problems like you describe. I know that the chemo given can often be tailored to the individuals need but I do feel for you. Having cancer is bad enough in itself, but to then have side effects from the treatment make it so much worse. I believe there is sometimes somthing they can give you to stop you feeling sick; it might be worth while talking to your medical team before you have your next chemo.

    Wishing you all the best and please let us know how you get on, Brian,
