First chemo!

Hi @Lelle I am sorry to hear you are going through a tough time. I found the nausea kicked in about 8 hours later and lasted for about 24 hours.  These are a few things I did - sucked on fruit tingles, ate ginger bear lollies which are available at chemists, drank water with lemon juice in it, dry ginger ale and kept up the meds. The nurse told me to just take them for the first 3 days at the set times no matter what, not to wait as it is tricky to get under control. I would ring your team straight away as there are stronger drugs you can take. Are you still on the steroids? As much as they mess with your sleep, they also help stop the nausea. Your team will do everything they can to help you and keep you well, please don’t wait until your next round to let them know.
