First AC chemo yesterday
I had my first chemo session yesterday. I was doing ok, had lunch and had a nap a few hours later. I wake up from the nap a little hungry and while waiting for food I started feeling a bit funny/nauseous so I took one of the anti nausea pill I got prescribed and.. it did absolutely nothing! I felt absolutely shit and nauseated for hours and was stuck between bed and bathroom, but I couldn’t vomit anything nor put anything in my stomach. For three times the nausea sensation would also work up until I sneezed loudly? (This was odd as sneezing alleviated me for a couple of minutes before going back to feeling shit).
Now, I slept fairly well and a part for a little headache I think I am doing ok, but I am still in bed wondering whether I should get up and have breakfast, wait a little, take the anti nausea pill now before I eat or can the anti nausea pill be the reason I was more unwell?
I want to see how I go today and if I can pin point what went wrong before contacting the chemo nurses with the same nonsensical rant.. but also don’t want to be sick again today or ever 🤦🏼♀️😂
any suggestions from the gorgeous women in this group?
I also had just a few tiny red spots (petechiae) pop up around my chest and upper arms, I am not too concerned but glad for any comments (I will certainly raise it with the nurses anyway) as personal experience could definitely help prepare for the nurses vague answer.

- Brenda5MemberI have found the ginger travel calm tablets to be helpful with nausea. Even ginger ale is good and will pull up those awful burps that chemo seems to give.Sign in to react to this post
