What a difference a night out makes!
Day 7 - after round four.
What a difference! After my V.I.P outing yesterday...I am glad to say I had a much better nights rest.

Constipation can be caused by anti nausea medication. I was lucky, didn't have nausea at all but on my second cocktail I got terribly constipated, which was a problem I had avoided before. My oncologist, on the basis of my lack of nausea and acknowledging that the anti nausea meds can cause constipation, dropped the hitherto obligatory dose of anti nausea meds administered with my intravenous treatment and the following couple of days, with the happy reminder that if I did get sick, I had only myself to blame!
But I didn't and stayed off them for the duration.. As you are experiencing nausea, it's a hard call. Maybe try some other options first (check with your oncologist about laxatives though)
Good luck.
