Hi All fellow troopers, 

Had my first chemo session EC90 Tuesday went well  then pack off with antisickness and steroids.Woke up weds sore throat by Fri full of cold rung hotline and off I trot in for antibiotics, since then feel lousy nausea all time and dry wretching when coughing, struggling with appetite. Would a stronger anti sickness pill help.

All advice greatly appreciated x

    Hi welcome it sounds like good fun at least you weren't sick (some of it could have been your cold) when I have kemo I'm normally sick for about 10 days day and night (not very nice) they should have stronger tablets, but if you're not sick it's a good start. You don't say what's wrong with you. Or how many sessions you are having. Anyhow best of luck with treatment.
