9 months agoAny suggestions on Nausea?
Accepted Answer
Dealing with nausea during breast cancer treatment can be really challenging, and there are several approaches that many people find helpful, including anti-nausea medications, eating small frequent meals, ginger products, staying hydrated, and acupressure techniques. It's definitely worth discussing specific anti-nausea options with your care team since they can often adjust medications or timing to help minimize this difficult side effect.

6 months agoIf it is mild, peach tea or peppermint help. If it is constant or feels more intense, contact your doc. I had to have a prescription...it was an immense help.

6 months agoEveryone is different. My body HATES Rx so instead of adding more Rx or OTC to my routine, I fast until my nausea subsides, usually in 6-8 hours. I’ve tracked my food intake and stress triggers. I found that heavy American or American-ized foods, large portions, mostly meat meals or mostly starches make me nauseous. I CAN eat fresh veggies, hot veggies, fresh fruit, cream of wheat, oatmeal… no seasonings for me when I’m nauseous; it makes me vomit…. Basically I eat like a pauper if I’m nauseous. I’m tired of vomiting or the other end

6 months agoIB guard is simply peppermint oil capsules or enteric coated meds. Ginger and ginger ale and some cola products are helpful too. Dry cereal and crackers help appetite. I had prescriptions for Zofran 8mg and Compazine that helped but I use meds limited.
