Hi Scalena, we all react differently to treatment. I am very prone to nausea, I suffer from motion sickness and I am sensitive smells so I was worried like you. However the meds I was given managed the nausea well. I only felt a little off in the tummy and ate very small meals for the first couple of days after treatment. Make sure you take the nausea meds as directed to give youself the best chance to manage this side effect. If you find the meds prescribed do not help, do tell your oncologist as they will adjust/change the medication if needed.
At your meeting on Wednesday, they will advice you on what you could expect and how to manage the side effects. I found the dry mouth the worse side effect to manage but we all react differently so this may not be an issue for you. Your breast care nurse will also be a wealth of information, so don't hesitate to contact her if you need advice or have concerns.
All the best for Friday, Lorraine
