Ongoing nausea 9 weeks after chemo
Hi all, I hope someone can reassure me. I had a lot of nausea with chemo and am still sick 9 weeks later. My doctors say my insides just need to heal. Can this be right? Have been on Maxalon and Ondan...

Hi @LizetteH,
I didnt have the same specific problem you are experiencing but i did have lingering gut issues. For me i had oral thrush for quite a while after chemo finished - so annoying. Think i had it during chemo for 2 months and then 5 weeks after. Some people are more sensitive in the gut area and have propensity for it.
My dietician said that i needed to heal my gut and said 20g of protein 4 times a day would help. I also tried that yoghurt drink with kefir (blueberry one) and found it tolerable. You could try that.
It does sound like its lingering a bit so keep at drs if you are not getting better. Ive been told it can take 6 months to feel right after treatment.
