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...

Hi Quest, I am hoping you are feeling much better today.. Now before I tell you this.. please dont worry, I am a side effect "queen" and chemo and I are arch enemies!!! and no, the vast majority of people do not react like me.. but I am surprised that the onc team said people do not usually react to AC. I have known quite a few ladies who suffer the issues you are describing. The anti nauseas were tweeked by the Onc until a balance could be found so they could keep functioning with minimal issues. The bonus is that there are so many anti nausea drugs out there now that they should be able to sort you out pretty quickly. There may always be some initial nausea after each dose but continue to speak to your team and tweak those meds..
When had AC and was a guest of the hospital for upto a week after each dose.. (my record is 8 days).. But thankfully, I am the exception to the rule..
sending you lots of nausea removing turtle HUGS xoxoxoxox
