Symptoms

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

    I had 6 sessions of weekly 8 hours sessions (always on a Friday) for Throat Cancer

    I always looked forward to me Chemo as i felt brilliant on Sat & Sun, ok Monday Tues, then found it difficult for the rest of the week until Friday again.

    Apparently its all the steriods you get in the Chemo that gives you that feel good factor.

    I used to hate taking all the anti-sickness (5 times a day, for the following 5 days ... horrible stuff ... sounded like Domperinion Champagne, but tasted nothing like it .... and i had no sence of taste 2 weeks in to my treatment)

    however they did their job as i was never sick, or felt sick, just drained and tired toward the end of the week.

    you do have to keep up with all the meds, but its a common cycle by the sounds of it

    I hope that it gets better for you though, just talk to you medical team as they may needto look at changing your anti sickness

    Shout if you have any questions
