I've no idea if this will help at all but it might be worth trying - if you haven't already tried it, ginger usually helps with nausea. Ginger tea or ginger root seeped in hot water. You'll probably find several ways of using or preparing it on google. Hope you find something that helps, take care.

The best advice I can give you, is to direct you to the Roy Castle Lung cancer

Site. You should get much advice there. It is part of Healthunlocked.

I have no experience of this but three of my friends have had chemo and it is bad stuff. Sickness seems to be par for the course. I would recommend ginger but would also recommend calling the hospital where you have your chemo and asking them for advice. Call your GP too someone there should be able to help.

Hope this passes soon.

Love and hugs

Do you have a Macmillan nurse? I have had lung cancer and the Mac nurses were great. If you call your hospital chemo dept they should point you in the right direction. Also as has been suggested look at the Roy Castle lung cancer site.

Good luck!
