OMG @TripleTea Did you ring the oncology team about that vomiting? Dehydration huge risk and no need for it. I needed dexamethasone for 4 days, stemitil 8 hourly strictly plus ondasteron just prior meals. I still felt squarmy but no vomiting. Sedation is also another option...you just need reminding to drink. There is no reason you should be vomiting that much and really if you do you should be in hospital so your kidneys not at risk from dehydration. It's not okay. Please keep in close contact with your team. They can't help if they don't know.
