I am currently on these two cancer drugs designed to prevent tumour growth and to prevent the formation of the new blood vessels they need. Unfortunately they come with side effects and one potential side effect is feeling sick. That hit me big time back in mid-December 2022, when I felt really sick, was sick and couldn’t keep anything down. That ended up with me being dehydrated and going to hospital where I was kept in and put on a drip with fluids and anti-sickness medication. Then I was OK until last Monday. Fine at breakfast and lunch. Then later in the day started feeling queasy, couldn’t eat an evening meal and was subsequently sick. I thought I might feel better the next day, but didn’t. I didn’t want to eat anything and only sipped water in a vain attempt to stay hydrated. Was sick during the day and 3 times that night. Next morning I called the Macmillan Nurse at University Hospital, Coventry and she arranged for me to go in to the oncology nurses’ clinic shortly after mid-day. I duly went and, as I find usual there, was given first class treatment, by really pleasant and efficient nurses. They did the usual checks and put me on a drip, again to hydrate me and inject anti-sickness medication. The medication went in first and then several hours of hydration. While that was going on, I started to feel much better and they kindly ordered me some food – my first in over 48 hours. I left about 5:30 feeling like a human being again and many thanks for the wonderful care I received.
