Hi, I came out of hospital 8 days ago after a radical nephrectomy. I was recovering really well but on Friday spent day in hospital suffering intense nausea, spaciness and generally feeling ill. They couldn’t find a cause, I went home, felt Ok over the weekend but yesterday nausea returned. I’ve been told my calcium levels are slightly elevated and my liver function not quite right and am having repeat blood tests today. 

The worst thing is that the nausea seems to affect a complete personality change  I’m frightened almost to the point of panic  I keep thinking I’m going to die in days even though I have been reassured that the raised calcium level is not significant  I don’t know if the blood abnormalities and the trauma of the op are causing these panics  or whether I just need to find a way to pull myself together  it’s very hard to describe what I’m feeling but it’s absolutely not the me I’Ve known for 60 years  

also, with the nausea it’s increasingly hard to eat and I’m not gaining any weight which is not good  Did anyone out there have bad nausea and did anything help? I’m taking cyclizine 50mg but it’s not helping  by the way, I haven’t had any chemo or radiotherapy  

Normally I can meditate or breathe my way through pain but this nausea and fear is defeating me
