I lost 6 kilos during my chemo because of the side effect I had from the Dex tabs. It was rare, said my Onc, and it wasnt because of chemo, he said. I put up with excruciating pain from indigestion for 5 hits of chemo, and it wasnt until I mentioned it on here, I got some advice to deal with it. One of the lovely ladies on here said they put her on Nexium while she was having the Chemo and "poooof" a magic wand was waved and I could eat. I went on a low acid, now sugar, no meat diet, no carbohydrates and only fruit and smoothies, soup before hand for the first week. Of course it was a side effect of Dex! XX Bel
I was getting indigestion after every chemo, like you, I was just eating smaller meals and eating a lot slower. I put up with it for 3 treatments. I did mention it to my oncologist at the 4th treatment and she asked if I also had the hiccups, I did, so she has put me on reflux tablets. They really helped, I found flavoured milk also didn't give me grief. Don't know if this helps, take care,
