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 Carole, It varies so much, some breeze through with few effects others like my hubby, suffer a lot. Your oncologist should be able to prescribe medication to help with the nausea and other side effects. I know hubby takes 2 differnce anti-nausea medications constantly. Wishing you the best on this journey.

Hi there, Sue is right everyone reacts differently. Just take the anti sickness medication , sleep if you need and if you can't eat ask for fortifying drinks from the chemo unit. Warmest wishes Carol
