Chemo Nausea akin to bad morning sickness?
Hi Everyone - I am starting 6-8 rounds of chemo (AC for two week cycle and then taxol/herceptin for 1 week cycle) for 20 weeks. I asked the oncologist if the possible side effects are a bit akin to ba...
Yes yes. I had terrible morning sickness with my 1st son and it is very similar but I also had terrible constipation. I akin it to morning sickness without the joy of becoming a mother. Anyways I eventually ended up on extra days of dexamethasone (given pre and post chemo for nausea), stemitil 8 hrly (as maxalon didn't agree with me ) and ondastron just prior eating. I also needed medication for reflux and constipation. However we really won't know until we have it but if you feel really unwell despite what they give you first time round don't slog it out but see a Dr. They will adjust your meds each cycle if you let them know how things are going.
On taxol and herceptin I had no nausea just heartburn.
