How long do symptoms last after chemo session?

I am on day 4 of 1st post chemo session and I feel dreadful, going from your experience how long does the nausea last, its only been 4 days.  I know I have a long tough journey ahead but any advice you can give would be most welcome.  Thank you

  • Hi,

    im just about to have round 5 of chemo and all I can say is everyone reacts so differently to it. I have never had nausea, just tiredness, aching bones, tickley cough and sore throat. I think it also depends on the type of chemo ur having and the type of cancer you have. My symptoms after the first chemo lasted about a week then only a few days after the others. Some people really suffer, some people fly through it. I ended up in hospital after every chemo the first 3 times as my immune system was so low. All I can advise is eat well, rest and drink ridiculous amounts of water and you should be fine. Good luck xx
