Hi

I had my first 7 hour cycle of Chemotherapy last week and surprisingly felt fine, not what I expected at all. But 3 days later I felt really ill I can handle most things but not feeling sick. Can anyone tell me how I can control this? Does this happen every time?  I had anti sickness tablets but only for 5 days 

Thanks

Casee

    Hi Casee.  Your reaction sounds pretty standard honey.  Please tell the chemo team because they can put anti-sickness drugs through IV whilst giving your chemo as well as tablets to take home - ask for more than 5 days supply or ask for them to give you a letter you can take to  your GP asking for their help to monitor your sickness so they can treat it with the correct drugs.

    Good luck with the treatment, I hope it all goes well and you can get on top of the sickness problem.  x

    Hi Max

    Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. My next cycle is in Jan and I will certainly let my chemo team know. They did explain the side affects but I just wasn't prepared for them to be so bad. I read your post and you truly are an inspiration I only hope I can find your strength and courage as my treatment continues. Have a lovely New Year.
