Nausea and the Big Chop
First chemo was last Monday and I have been battling what seems to be endless waves of nausea all week - virtually have gone through all the tablets I was given as I can't seem to shake these feeling...

Hello sorry to hear of your nausea and all that goes with it. Fortunately I've seemed to manage the nausea first 4 days I take anti nausea medication even if it's not that bad. I found a hint I use after 1st chemo I take the steroids very early around 5 am that way with the help of Ativan (Valium plus anti aniexty - and I've been told that helps with the nausea) at bedtime I now manage to sleep through for 7 hours don't wait as soon as you can go to your gp or oncologist you can change your medication different things work for different people. Congratulations on the hair that was so traumatic for me having a great support network really helps - hope you feel better soon. Also you don't mention yr chemo schedule I'm on 4 ACs (red devil) then wkly 3 months taxol 2 ACs to go before taxol a lot of people say taxol is not as bad ( hope so) best wishes
