Just seeing if anyone can help me out? I’ve not long started chemo and I keep getting pains aswell as being very tired and sick, are the pains normal and is there anything anyone can reccomend? Thankyou xx
not sure if your chemo is the same as mine, I'm just finishing wk 2 of 6 of Cisplatin for cervical cancer.
wk 1 I was horrendous with nausea, discussed with my nurse and she changed my anti sickness medication, and what a huge difference I've had in wk 2. Hoping it keeps up. Definitely speak to your nurse they will have lots of different things to try.
Other than that I've found bananas to be a god send, don't know why, have never really liked them before but they really help me to get started eating in the morning and lunch. I've found eating little and often helps. I try to snack on toast or cereal. I also found putting a small amount of diluting juice in my water bottle helps with keeping hydrated.
I think I sleep about 12 hrs a day just now as that's what my body is telling me I need.
