Get in touch with your oncology team, whether that's contacting your breast care nurse if there is one in your area, or ringing the chemo unit. You should have been given some information on who you can contact.
If you are a private patient, contact your oncologists rooms.
There are alternatives to maxalon (metocloprimide) for the nausea
The other important thing is to try to keep your fluid intake up, to flush the chemo through... not that I did that well through chemo
My go to drink when I feel queasy or nauseated os something gingery... ginger beer, ginger cordial, ginger tea.
Hope you're feeling a bit better soon
