Fluids

Offline Emma45 over 6 years ago

My friend has bowl cancer and just started IV chemo and tablet chemo. She is struggling to drink hot drinks, as this isn't what she really likes.

But even room temperature drinks are causing side effects. Any tips to help her keep her fluid levels up?

Thank you

Hi Emma45
I'm sorry to hear that your friend is stuggling with things following on from her chemo. It's certainly worth her speaking to her specialist nurse for some advice. Alternatively if you'd like to speak to one of our team of nurses for some advice and information you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).
I hope that things improve for your friend soon.
Best wishes,
Jenn
