Soooo sick after chemo
Well I had my first chemo AC on Tues. Apart from having trouble getting a line in all went smoothly... Was told I would be covered for five days for the nausea.
Was back home by 1pm and the nausea...

I had AC on the 9th. I have had morning sickness type nausea on and off ever since. No vomiting. It is day 8 now and I feel pretty normal.
meds: I had 3 days of Dex. Started on Pramin. Upgraded to Ondansetron (stopped day 4). I was given Lorazapam but never needed it.
what has helped: fresh air, walking, sipping water constantly. Not eating sugary fruit, ginger tea or coffee. I drink ginger beer now, and peppermint tea.
Not being so frightened is the big one for me. I fear the nausea and it makes me worse. So lots of TV watching to distract my mind.
so, no. I assume I'm "normal" and what you are experiencing totally sucks. Surely they have better drugs to help you? Hopefully next cycle they can adjust things so you don't have to go thru that again.
I think I need a Lorazapam just reading your story. Got my fingers crossed for you!
