Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Gillell although I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties your husband is having at the moment.

I just wanted to let you know that our cancer nurses don't work at the weekend but they will get back to you as soon as they can next week.

If you're seeking urgent medical advice today, don't hesitate to contact your husband's cancer team or out of hours GP. If they are unavailable, you can get in touch with the NHS on 111.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Thanks. He has been on to them.  It's probably me but just scary time at moment. Thanksxx

Hello and thanks for your post

People vary in the severity of these side effects and this sounds quite debilitating for your husband. You can read more about this side effect and what might help by clicking here.

I think you need to let the hospital know about your husband’s symptoms. They can assess him, increase his pain medication and prescribe anti-sickness medication to manage his sickness. If he has a specialist nurse involved in his care then perhaps they can provide him with further information. You often have to call and leave them a message and they will get back to you.  

Give us a ring if you want to talk anything over. Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays from 9-5,

Kind regards,
